AB  - Listeria  monocytogenes  is  a  saprophytic  organism  (found  in  multiple  environments  including  water,  soil,  and  decaying  vegetation)  and  a  foodborne  pathogen  that  causes  disease  primarily  in  pregnant  women,  the  elderly,  immunocompromised  hosts,  and  neonates.  It  has  a  worldwide  distribution  and  is  acquired  relatively  frequently  in  developed  countries  due  to  consumption  of  refrigerated,  contaminated,  ready-to-eat  food,  mostly  dairy  products  and  cold  cuts.  Listeriosis  is  a  zoonosis  of  many  animal  species  that  can  directly  transmit  infection  to  humans.  In  humans,  it  causes  epidemic  and  sometimes  sporadic  outbreaks  of  febrile  gastroenteritis.
