“…In this investigation, no E. coli O157 was isolated from unpasteurized goats' cheese. Nevertheless, the link between consumption of raw milk products and disease has been well established for E. coli O157 in other countries [8][9][10][11] and transmission of bacterial pathogens, other than E. coli O157, by raw cheese has already been documented in France [12][13][14].…”

“…In addition, soft cheeses have been associated with outbreaks of listeriosis, resulting in abortions, stillbirths, and deaths primarily in the young, the elderly, and in the immunocompromised (Büla et al 1995;Goulet et al 1995;Linan et al 1988). According to the community summary reports in 2006 and 2007, soft cheeses were the food vehicle most often implicated in the limited number of reported foodborne listeriosis outbreaks (EFSA 2007(EFSA , 2009a.…”

“…Soft cheeses, especially soft cheeses made with unpasteurized milk (Mexicanstyle), red smeared cheeses, brie, camembert and sour milk curd cheese 'Quargel', were responsible for large outbreaks in Europe and in the United States (Pichler et al 2011;Goulet et al 1995;Johnson et al 2010). In Australia, 29 cases (including three fatal cases) were linked to brie, blue cheese and camembert from one company in 2013 (Carey 2013).…”

In contrast to most pathogenic bacteria, Listeria monocytogenes is psychrotrophic, capable of multiplying at low temperatures. In an era when food production and food storage heavily rely on refrigeration, this ability to grow (albeit slowly) in a cold environment has opened a new ecological niche for L. monocytogenes. Because of the severity of certain clinical manifestations (infections of the central nervous system, septicemia, and abortion), the high case-fatality rate (up to 30 % of cases), and the long incubation time, human listeriosis is now a zoonosis of major public health concern. L. monocytogenes causes invasive illness mainly in certain well-defined high-risk groups, including immunocompromised persons, pregnant women, neonates, and the elderly. However, listeriosis can occur in otherwise healthy individuals, particularly during an outbreak. The evolvement of silage as a dominant feed for ruminants constitutes another key factor, responsible for the emergence of listeriosis as a relevant animal disease. L. monocytogenes has been isolated from numerous species of mammals, birds, fish, crustaceans, and insects. Nevertheless, the primary habitats of L. monocytogenes are considered to be the soil and decaying vegetable matter, in which it survives and grows saprophytically.
