“…Since Listeria species have been reported to be antigenically related to other gram-positive organisms, such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Erysipelothrix, and Bacillus species (10,13,19,20,29), an immunodiagnostic approach to Listeria identification requires very specific antibodies.…”

Fifteen murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) which react specifically with a protein antigen found in all species of Listeria were developed and characterized. These MAbs were tested extensively by both enzymelinked immunosorbent assay and Western blot (immunoblot) analyses for cross-reaction with non-Listeria organisms, such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Citrobacter, Pseudomonas, and Salmonella species, and were found to be nonreactive. The genus-specific antigen was identified as a heat-stable protein with a molecular weight in the range of 30,000 to 38,000 (under both reducing and nonreducing conditions), depending on the species of Listeria tested. In Listeria monocytogenes, L. innocua, L. ivanovii, and L. seeligeri the antigen has a molecular weight of approximately 30,000 to 34,000. In L. grayi and L. murrayi it has a molecular weight of approximately 35,000 to 38,000. In addition, several of the MAbs recognize lower-molecular-weight protein bands. There appear to be at least two groups of Listeria-specific MAbs based upon isotype and results of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot analyses. These MAbs have proven to be useful in the development of a diagnostic assay for Listeria species in food products.

“…; according to Vahlquist (1948) only 10% had antitoxin in their serum at birth, while according to Cook et al ( 1948) and Peterson and Christie ( 1951) the proportion was 20 % (occasionally 60 %) . Transplacental antibody transmission from mother to foetus has also been demonstrated in the case of staphylococcal toxin; antitoxin levels in the cord blood are usually the same as in the maternal blood (Lichty et al 1943, Murray et al 1950, Neter et al 1960), but agglutinins against staphylococcal capusular antigens are found only irregularly in cord blood, and in lower titres than in the mother's blood. According to certain recent data, however, it is evident that neither the above findings nor their interpretation can be universally applied to every situation.…”

SummaryThe incidence, clinical picture, natural history, epidemiology and sequelae of perinatal listeriosis are discussed along with treatment and diagnosis. IntroductionListeriosis is an uncommon disease in Britain but is probably not sufficiently recognized. It is due to an opportunist pathogen Listeria monocytogenes and occurs in three main forms, meningitis, perinatal listeriosis and an anginal form. Much rarer forms include septicaemia with isolated organ involvement and abscess formation. It usually attacks the old, the very young, the pregnant and people with impaired defences. The epidemiology and mode of spread apart from mother to fetus is obscure. The perinatal disease is distinctly rare in Britain and carries a high mortality for the child but the mother usually has a very mild illness.
