Groups at Risk for Listeriosis
• Immunocompromised persons• Cancer patients• Patients with kidney disease• Elderly persons• HIV patients• Pregnant women
Healthy pregnant women show a unique predilection - Pregnancy increases risk of listeriosis- Placenta provides a protective niche for pathogen
Incidence:0.7 / 100,000 in general population12 / 100,000 (17- fold) in pregnant women
(Southwick and Purich, 1996)

Seropositivity for listeric infection in human cases 16%
Reduction of seropositivity consequent to sera adsorption with SLO, from 48 % to 16 %, indicating that adsorption of the sera eliminates cross-reactions in serological tests.
Variable sensitivity to different antibiotics
PI-PLC assay and Multiplex PCR based on hlyA, plcAand prf A – hold a promise as rapid and reliable in-vitroalternatives to in-vivo pathogenicity tests.
