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:

Rapid Detection of Pathogenic Bacteria by the Naked Eye
TL;DR: In this article, a cotton swab containing bacteria was immersed in a reagent comprising H2O2 (11.2 mM) and TMB for 25 min, and then the swab was dipped further in H 2 O 2 (180 mM) at pH 3 for 5 min.

TL;DR: The draft genome sequence of Listeria monocytogenes CIIMS-PH-1, an isolate obtained from a 16-day-old infant with septicemia, consisted of 2,939,183 bp and is a member of sequence type 308, clonal complex 1, and lineage I.

Listeria monocytogenes sepsis in the nursing home community: a case report and short review of the literature.
TL;DR: Listeriosis occurs more frequently in older patients than in pregnant women and still has a high mortality despite adequate treatment, and Physicians, in particular geriatricians, should be aware of this potentially severe foodborne infection.

Exogenous fatty acids affect membrane properties and cold adaptation of Listeria monocytogenes
Alexander Flegler,Janice Iswara,Anna Tatjana Mänz,Frieda Sophia Schocke,Wanda Antonia Faßbender,Georg Hölzl,André Lipski +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper , exogenous fatty acids were incorporated into the membrane phospholipids of Listeria monocytogenes, resulting in a modification of the membrane fatty acid profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
An agent-based simulator for the gastrointestinal pathway of Listeria monocytogenes
Ashrafur Rahman,Ashrafur Rahman,Ali Asgary,Daniel Munther,Aamir Fazil,Ben A. Smith,Jianhong Wu +6 more
TL;DR: An agent-based gastric simulator for a human host is developed to illustrate the within host survival mechanisms of Listeria monocytogenes and may provide a supplementary tool to evaluate pathogen survival and subsequent infection, especially with regards to the ingestion of small doses.

Control of Listeria monocytogenes in the Food-Processing Environment
TL;DR: The information presented in this paper provides the basis for the establishment of an environmental sampling program, the organization and interpretation of the data generated by this program, and the response to Listeria-positive results.

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.
