Listeriosis is a potentially fatal sickness caused by consuming food infected with the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes. Each year, an estimated 1,600 people contract listeriosis, with approximately 260 dying. Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) is a pathogenic (disease-causing) bacterium found in wet habitats, soil, water, decaying vegetation, and animals, and it may survive and even thrive under refrigeration and other food preservation procedures.
