Listeria spp. are Gram-positive, motile (under mesophilic conditions) bacteria of clinical importance due to their virulence activity. Listeria spp. are found in many environments, such as soil, water, decaying vegetation, and animals. Certain species, such as Listeria monocytogenes, can survive refrigeration and other food preservation methods. Listeria spp. can be transferred into the food chain when food is harvested or stored, and can remain as a contaminant throughout the food production process. This requires continuous monitoring of raw materials, processed product, and the food production environment.
