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:

Animals as sources of food-borne pathogens: A review
Norma Heredia,Santos García +1 more
TL;DR: The evidence that links animals as vehicles of the foodborne pathogens Salmonella, Campylobacter, Shiga toxigenic E. coli, and L. monocytogenes, their impact, and their current status is reviewed.

TL;DR: Quantitative modelling suggests that more than 90% of invasive listeriosis is caused by ingestion of RTE food containing > 2,000 colony forming units (CFU)/g, and that one‐third of cases are due to growth in the consumer phase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Florentina Ionela Bucur,Leontina Grigore-Gurgu,Peter Crauwels,Christian U. Riedel,Anca Ioana Nicolau +4 more
TL;DR: This review is aimed at providing a summary of the current knowledge on the response of L. monocytogenes toward stresses and the mechanisms of stress resistance employed by this important food-borne bacterium.

TL;DR: Factors in food processing chains and environments including extensive or sub-inhibitory antibiotics use, horizontal gene transfer, exposure to environmental stresses, biofilm formation, and presence of persister cells play crucial roles in the development of antibiotic resistance by L. monocytogenes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This investigation showed that in a middle-income country with a high prevalence of HIV infection, L. monocytogenes caused disproportionate illness among pregnant girls and women and HIV-infected persons.

Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular pathogenesis of Listeria monocytogenes in the alternative model host Galleria mellonella.
TL;DR: It is shown that inoculation with Listeria monocytogenes initiates a dynamic infection in G. mellonella and that production of the cytolysin listeriolysin O (LLO) is necessary for toxicity and bacterial growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Listeria monocytogenes in Irish Farmhouse cheese processing environments.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the farm environment external to the processing environment may in some cases be the source of processing environment contamination with L. monocytogenes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seek and destroy process: Listeria monocytogenes process controls in the ready-to-eat meat and poultry industry.
TL;DR: A regulatory environment that encourages aggressive environmental Listeria testing is required to facilitate continued use of the seek-and-destroy process for controlling L. monocytogenes in RTE foods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying strain variability in modeling growth of Listeria monocytogenes.
TL;DR: The impact of strain variability on maximum specific growth rate (μmax) (h(-1)) was quantified using twenty Listeria monocytogenes strains to underlined the importance to obtain quantitative knowledge on variability factors to realistically predict the microbial growth kinetics.

TL;DR: This large-scale U.S. study-the first using commercial time/temperature profiles to assess the microbial risk of leafy greens-should be useful in filling some of the data gaps in current risk assessments for Leafy greens.
