Listeria Monocytogenus

Introduction: The purpose of this literature review is to gain a deeper understanding of food borne pathogens and their traits known as Listeria. In this review we will describe in detail the different kinds of Listeria species that can be separated from various food samples. And determine their overall antibiotic resistance, disease associated with each disease, and incidence and incidence all over the world. Then I will compare my overall survey results, I will not discuss biochemical tests in this review due to the number of words.

Listeria is an aerobic parasite, gram positive coryneform (Definition, nd). There are more than 10 species of this genus, commonly Listeria monocytogenes, Listeria, Listeria, Listeria, Listeria, Listeria, Listeria. Members of this genus are widely distributed in the environment and may be found in the gastrointestinal tract and humans of soils, plants, animals. Listeria monocytogenes species is a major concern since it is pathogenic to humans and causes listeriosis. Listeriosis is a foodborne illness (Hardy Diagnostics, 1996)

Listeria is a common name for pathogenic or pathogenic bacteria called Listeria monocytogenes. It is foodborne bacteria that causes infections called listeriosis after ingestion. Approximately 2,500 people and 500 deaths each year result from Listeriosis. Listeria is ubiquitous in the environment and can be isolated from wild and domestic animals, birds, insects, soil, wastewater and vegetation. Since this bacterium has been found in pasture lands, old water, poorly prepared feed, it will easily contact livestock. In addition to being present in the environment, Listeria can live in the intestines of humans, animals and birds for long periods without causing infection. Since Listeria exists in almost all environments, there are many opportunities for contamination in the food manufacturing process.

Because of its abnormal growth potential, medical service providers often consider Listeria as a cause of disease. Firstly, growing Listeria bacteria in the laboratory can be difficult. As it grows, Listeria may be confused with other less harmful contaminants and ignored. Secondly, most bacteria are poorly growing at temperatures below 40 ° F, but Listeria survives below freezing temperatures to body temperature and grows best between 0 ° F and 50 ° F. In the temperature range of freezing and refrigeration.
