Listeria monocytogenes is an environmental bacterium that is capable of causing infection (known as listeriosis) in vulnerable people who generally acquire the organism following the ingestion of contaminated foods. Pregnant women are a particular risk group, as listeriosis in pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, neonatal septicaemia and meningitis. The immuno-compromised, and people over the age of 65 to 70 are also at increased risk of listeriosis. INSET: NOTIFIABLE DISEASES IN AUSTRALIA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
