Listeriosis is a bacterial infection caused by the pathogen Listeria monocytogenes . In healthy individuals, infection with L. monocytogenes is typically asymptomatic or a mild, self-limited illness such as febrile gastroenteritis. However …

Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) is a facultative, intracellular Gram-positive pathogenic bacterium that causes sepsis, a condition characterized by persistent excessive inflammation and organ dysfunction. However, the pathogenesis of Lm-induced sepsis …

Listeria monocytogenes is known as a non-spore forming, non-branching, regular, short rod, gram-positive, and facultative anaerobic bacterium isolated from soil, animal food, water, feces, animals, and humans. Since it can grow at a temperature of …

Neurolisteriosis results from infection of the central nervous system (CNS) with Listeria monocytogenes ( Lm ), a Gram-positive bacillus infamous as potentially deadly food- and feed-borne pathogen in humans and animals. Upon ingestion, Lm is …

Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive bacterium that is ubiquitous in the environment, including the soil and water, and usually causes gastroenteritis after ingestion of contaminated food [ 1 ]. Among elderly, immunocompromised and neonates …

Activation of inflammatory pathways in the brain is a root cause of infection-induced neurological injury [ 1 , 2 ]. Understanding how to interrupt pathologic brain inflammation is a pressing global healthcare need as meningitis and encephalitis …

Immunosenescence is thought to be a major contributor to the heightened susceptibility of the elderly to infection [ 1 ]. Moreover, it is also associated with reduced vaccine effectiveness, compounding the seriousness of this issue and limiting …

Listeria monocytogenes is a ubiquitous Gram-positive rod in the environment. The invasive infection caused by L. monocytogenes, which can lead to bacteremia and meningitis, is called listeriosis. Although listeriosis has generally been recognized …

Listeria monocytogenes (LM), a causative agent of listeriosis have emerged as an important foodborne illness of global concern [ 1 , 2 ]. It is a major public health problem for at-risk groups, causing high morbidity and mortality. Pregnant women …

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established method of renal replacement therapy. PD-related peritonitis is a rare but serious complication and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates. In addition, each instance of peritonitis …

Listeria monocytogenes ( L. monocytogenes ) is a Gram-positive bacillus, its genetic machinery allows bacterial life as a facultative intracellular pathogen. L. monocytogenes widely exists in the environment at high salt concentrations and fairly …

Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have revolutionized our ability to source track pathogens such as Salmonella enterica [ 1 ] , Listeria monocytogenes [ 2 ], Escherichia coli [ 3 ] , and many others by facilitating the whole genome …

Infectious diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) are significant causes of morbidity and mortality throughput the world. In this regard, meningitis and encephalitis rank as the 4th and 10th largest contributors, respectively, to …

Aortic inflammatory disease is rare (1.38 cases/100,000 inhabitants) and prevails in middle aged (50–60 years old) men (male/female ratio 2:1-3:1). It comprises two main entities: aortitis and periaortitis, both characterised by the infiltration …
