“…Rösch et al reviewed 26 cases of IE associated with L. garvieae reported until 2018 [13] . We used all the relevant articles found the literature with the exception of one Dutch article, and included newly reported cases after 2018 in our review [11] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] . To date, 31 cases of L. garvieae –associated IE, including the present case, have been reported.…”

“…This bacterium was also a cause of infectious endocarditis favored by graft placement in a 65-year-old man, who was hospitalized for headache and dysarthria caused by an intracranial aneurysm. L. garviae was isolated from the blood cultures and the patient was treated with intravenous antibiotics, ceftriaxone, and gentamycin [ 25 ].…”

This narrative review was aimed at identifying the opportunistic bacterial pathogens that can be transmitted by contaminated food and represent a current threat for patients particularly susceptible to infections because of underlying conditions or predisposing factors. The analysis was focused on recent case or outbreak reports and systematic reviews published in the years 2019 to 2023 and resulted in sorting 24 bacterial groups comprising the genera or species able to cause a variety of systemic or invasive infections if ingested with food or drinking water. These included both bacteria known to cause mild infections in immunocompetent persons and bacteria considered to be innocuous, which are used in food fermentation or as probiotics. No recent cases of infections transmitted through dietary routes were reported for the critical nosocomial pathogens widely found in food products, primarily Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae. However, the very first sources of their introduction into the clinical environment still need to be established. In many instances, risky dietary habits, such as eating raw fish, seafood, raw meat, unpasteurized milk, and their derived products or the lack of control in fermentation processes, has led to the reported illnesses, pointing out the necessity to improve the hygiene of production and consumer awareness of the risks.
