The gram-positive bacterium having low G+C content contaminating the unpasteurized milk is Listeria monocytogenes. This bacterium can be found in the dairy products. When an individual is infected it can cause mild infections, but when it infects a pregnant female, it is capable of causing serious harm to the health of the woman as well as the fetus.
