When you go to the hospital and have to stay overnight, you assume you've been admitted to the hospital. But, depending on your health care needs, you may only be "under observation" as an outpatient.
A new law this year requires hospitals to make sure you understand the difference.
Thanks to a complex system of rules and regulations for hospitals, providers, private insurers and Medicare/Medicaid patients, you can be in the hospital for several days - but classified as an "observation" outpatient. Which means you're not officially "admitted."
The rules mandate that hospitals cannot officially "admit" you as an inpatient unless you meet the medical criteria for admission. If, in the doctor's view, you don't meet the medical criteria for admission, but a brief hospital stay is still warranted to monitor your condition - you're placed on "observation status." This can even apply if you're in the hospital for routine joint replacement with private insurance, for example, and are scheduled for discharge after one night. You're in the hospital, but you're not technically admitted.

Answer:
A and E
Explanation:
<em>Listeria monocytogenes</em> is a Gram-positive bacterium, mobile by means of flagella. CANNOT form capsules and / or endospores; It is a pathogenic bacterium, normally present in the environment. It is capable of living both in the soil and in the cytosol of a eukaryotic cell.
<em>L. monocytogenes</em> can enter host cells through endocytosis, this phagocytic vacuole is rapidly lysed by the listeriolysin O (LLO) toxin produced by the bacteria. Once free in the cytosol, it expresses the genes to acquire the necessary nutrients for intracellular multiplication and spread between cells and this is precisely what allows it to evade the humoral immune response.
