“…Because L. monocytogenes grows and multiplies at +4"C, refrigerated food such as meat, eggs, poultry, vegetables and milk are implicated as potential sources of infection, Raw poultry (Kwantes and Isaac, 1975;Gitter, 1976) and red meat (Hohne et al, 1975;Elischerova et al, 1979) are frequently contaminated with L. monocytogenes, and the usual preserving agents such as sodium chloride and sodium nitrite inhibit the growth of this organism only slightly (Shahamat et al, 1980). L. monocytogenes causes mastitis in cows (Gitter et al, 1980) and large numbers of bacteria may be shed into milk. Burn (1936) suggested milk as a possible source of infection and Gray (1963) recalls that a woman who drank raw milk from a cow with mastitis subsequently gave premature birth to still-born twins infected with L. monocytogenes of the same serogroup as that isolated from the milk.…”

Summary. Strains of Listeria monocytogenes from 475 cases of human listeriosis collected during [1967][1968][1969][1970][1971][1972][1973][1974][1975][1976][1977][1978][1979][1980][1981][1982][1983][1984], belonged to one of three serogroups (1/2,3 or 4). They were phage typed with a set of 28 phages to investigate three aspects of the epidemiology of listeriosis. (i) Three patients each had two episodes of listeriosis, 3 months to 2 years apart, with strains of the same serogroup and indistinguishable by phage typing.(ii) Ten episodes of possible cross-infection between pairs of neonates in the same hospital occurred; the first baby was ill at or within 1 day of birth, and the second baby became ill 8-12 days after contact with the first. In each pair the L. monocytogenes strains were of the same serogroup and indistinguishable by phage typing. (iii) In three clusters of cases there may have been a common source of infection. L. monocytogenes strains from 10 of 1 1 cases of listeriosis in the Carlisle area in Ju1.-Dec. 198 1 were of the same serogroup; nine strains were non-phage-typable. The second cluster involved four adults treated at one hospital and the third a pair of neonates who were ill shortly after birth. In each cluster, strains were of the same serogroup, and were indistinguishable by phage typing. These last two clusters occurred during a short period when an unusually high proportion of strains from all cases of human listeriosis in Britain were indistinguishable by phage typing from the cluster strains, suggesting the possibility of common source infection.

“…An association between listeriosis and the feeding of silage to dairy cattle has been well documented, with most cases resulting from the consumption of low quality and improperly fermented silage with a pH of 4.0. Reports of bovine listeriosis from silage feeding and of subsequent asymptomatic shedding of L. monocytogenes in milk are of obvious concern to the dairy industry [8] . It has been reported that listeriosis in cattle is mainly feed-borne and Listeria spp.…”

The objective of this study was to investigate the presence of Listeria species in the corn silage and raw milk samples. A total of 140 raw milk samples obtained from cows, sheeps and goats fed with silage and 90 corn silage samples collected from 10 dairy farms in SouthEastern Region of Turkey were analyzed for Listeria spp. In the result, L. monocytogenes and L. innocua were isolated from 2 (2.2%) and 5 (5.5%) silage samples and from 3 (2.1%) and 5 (3.5%) raw milk samples, respectively. The results indicates that these are a potential risk for animals and public health. Prevention of growth of L. monocytogenes in silage will also contribute to reduction of Listeria spp. in milk.

“…Listeria monocytogenes has been recovered from the milk of subclinically infected animals, and infected milk has been associated with human outbreaks of listeriosis. 6,7,16 There were no other reports of abortion or abnormal foals from this particularly breeding facility, excepting a pair of twins. In humans, the most commonly reported presentations for perinatal listeriosis include prematurity, maternal influenza-like illness, and reduced fetal movements.…”

Listeria MonocytogenesSepticemia in a Thoroughbred Foal

et al. 2000

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Listeria monocytogenes septicemia was diagnosed in a 6-day-old Thoroughbred foal. Primary clinical signs included fever, depression, diarrhea, and respiratory distress. Hematologic abnormalities included leukopenia, neutropenia, degenerative left shift, and hyperfibrinogenemia. Clinical chemistry and blood gas abnormalities included metabolic acidosis, hypoxemia, hypocapnia, hypoglycemia, and hyponatremia. Despite aggressive therapeutic intervention and intensive care, the foal died within 12 hours of admission. A postmortem examination was performed, and the primary gross lesion was bilaterally severe, focally extensive bronchopneumonia. Histopathology revealed severe subacute multifocal suppurative bronchopneumonia with necrotizing vasculitis and intralesional coccobacilli. Cultures of blood collected at admission and immediately prior to death were positive for L. monocytogenes, as were cultures obtained from lung and liver at necropsy. Immunohisto-chemical examination of formalin-fixed tissues revealed abundant intra- and extracellular L. monocytogenes antigen within the lung and intravascularly in multiple organs.
