Listeria monocytogen is gram-positive bacilli commonly isolated from environmental sources (water and food like cheese, milk products, and undercooked meat). It can cause sporadic or epidemic infections and may be found in feces of 1-5% asymptomatic healthy adults. Immunosuppression, defective cell mediated immunity and pregnancies are considered high-risk conditions. Case mortality with central systema nervosum (CNS) infection is extremely high reaching 27% and lots of patients are left with neurological sequel.
