“…al., 2012;ANDRADE et al, 2014;RISTORI et al, 2014) as well as its isolation in hospitalized patients, but without associating with the consumption of a particular food (CRUZ et al, 2008;MARTINS et al, 2010;REIS et al, 2011), it can be inferred that there is a possibility of non notification of listeriosis human cases in Brazil. So, despite these reports, there is not enough data about the occurrence of the disease in population and implied food.…”

Listeria monocytogenes is a relevant foodborne pathogen in public health, responsible for outbreaks of listeriosis often associated to the consumption of ready to eat meat, dairy and fishery products. Listeriosis is a serious disease that can lead to death and mainly affect children, the elderly and immunocompromised individuals. In pregnant women causes abortion or neonatal listeriosis. In Brazil, ready to eat food are appreciated and increasingly consumed by the population. Furthermore, products such as sausages, bologna, hams and cheeses have characteristics such as pH, Aw and sodium chloride content that favor the development of L. monocytogenes during their shelf life. The purpose of this paper was to present an overview of L. monocytogenes contamination in different meat, dairy and fishery products that are ready for consumption and thereby support the adoption of strategies to mitigate this risk, contributing to achieve the appropriate level protection for the consumers and thus strengthen Brazil's food safety system.

“…Aunque es posible que hayan correspondido a infecciones asociadas a la atención de salud, tal como ha sido descrito en Chile en unidades neonatales 16 o ligados a una transmisión por alimentos 36,41 , también es plausible que correspondan a eventos comunitarios que se manifestaron en el hospital luego de un período de incubación en su hogar, el que puede ser prolongado y contemplar varias semanas 42 . Uno de los casos apareció a los 7 días de ingresar por insuficiencia respiratoria tras el uso de corticosteroides y el otro, a los 10 días, luego del ingreso por hemorragia subaracnoídea, sin haber recibido alimentación oral.…”

Lis teriosis is an under-diagnosed and under-reported infection; however, listeriosis is not a compulsorily notifi able disease in Brazil. We provide an overview of the rates of listeriosis in the United States of America (USA), Europe, Latin America, and Brazil during the past decade. We also report a case of miscarriage caused by listeriosis in which there was no suspicion of this infection. This overview and the case we report serve as reminders of the often-neglected threat of listeriosis and its potential to cause miscarriage while highlighting the necessity of recognizing listeriosis as a compulsorily notifi able disease in Brazil.

A cluster of Listeria monocytogenes infections in hospitalized adults

Abstract: Background-Listeriosis occurs mainly in persons at extremes of age and with immunocompromising conditions. It is believed that most cases of listeriosis are acquired in the community. A cluster of listeriosis in hospitalized patients prompted the present investigation.
