We present 3 cases of Listeria monocytogenes presenting as focal infections to our hospitals, all of which are the first reported cases from Australia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome

  We report a case of neonatal listeriosis with erythematous rash, intractable convulsions, severe early neonatal sepsis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and death. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Sighing

  Deletion or constitutive overexpression of TrxA, which was regulated by SigH, severely attenuated the virulence of the pathogen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Ulcer

  We present a patient with a corneal ulcer due to Listeria monocytogenes, which has not previously been considered to be a feature of human listeriosis. The ulcer responded to topical and subconjunctival gentamicin and cephaloridine. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The ulcer responded to topical and subconjunctival gentamicin and cephaloridine. [doi.org]

• Costovertebral Angle Tenderness

  She was admitted to our hospital complaining of fever and chills, and her physical examination revealed left costovertebral angle tenderness. Computed tomography showed hydronephrosis and complete ureteral obstruction due to tumor invasion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Pericardial Effusion

  The echocardiogram showed severe pericardial effusion and after pericardiocentesis, L. monocytogenes was isolated in the culture of pericardial fluid. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Treponema Pallidum

  Ultrastructure of lipopolysaccharide isolated from Treponema pallidum. J Bacteriol. 1973 May; 114 (2):838–844. [ PMC free article ] [ PubMed ] [ Google Scholar ] Janda J, Work E. A colorimetric estimation of lipopolysaccharides. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The initial treatment with vancomycin and meropenem did not produce any clinical effect. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Documentation of L. monocytogenes pericarditis is an extremely rare entity with very scarce reports in medical literature, and is usually associated with a very poor prognosis. A case report is presented together with a review of the literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Aspergillus is by far the most frequent etiology of post-transplant brain abscesses. Bacteria, apart from Nocardia, have a low association with brain abscesses in transplant recipients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In Argentina, listeriosis is not a national notifiable disease but physicians should always consider L. monocytogenes as a possible etiologic agent of neonatal meningitis. [scielo.org.ar]

Specific food linkages were only made epidemiologically in this cluster. CDC has established an epidemiological link between consumption of raw hot dogs or undercooked chicken and approximately 20% of the sporadic cases under prospective study. [web.archive.org]

Pathophysiology L monocytogenes is a motile, non–spore-forming, gram-positive bacillus that has aerobic and facultatively anaerobic characteristics. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Preventing Listeriosis The meat and poultry industry controls L. monocytogenes in fully cooked meat and poultry products by achieving a validated lethality step ( e.g. cooking). [meatpoultryfoundation.org]
