TLDR
The recent outbreaks underscored the individual characteristics of specific foods and raised questions about the current understanding of infectivity of lower doses and the susceptibility of specific individuals, and further research is clearly necessary to control this pathogen.About:

Distribution and Characteristics of Listeria spp. in Pigs and Pork Production Chains in Germany
Verena Oswaldi,Stefanie Lüth,Janine Dzierzon,D. Meemken,Stefan Schwarz,Andrea T. Feßler,Benjamin Félix,Susann Langforth +7 more
TL;DR: A wide distribution of clonal complexes was observed in pigs, as well as in the pork production chain, suggesting multiple sources of entry, and genotypical resistance data suggested multiple resistances in some non-pathogenic L. innocua isolates from pig samples, which might pose a risk of spreading resistances to pathogenic species.

Review--Persistence of Listeria monocytogenes in food industry equipment and premises.
Brigitte Carpentier,Olivier Cerf +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that there are no strains of Listeria monocytogenes with unique properties that lead to persistence, but harborage sites in food industry premises and equipment where L. monocyTogenes can persist and that when a low initial bacterial charge is applied, early cleaning and disinfection is the only way to avoid persistence.
