[Listeria monocytogenes in food. A review].
Listeriosis as a foodborne disease made European headlines in the autumn of 1987. Some years earlier, the USA were alarmed by the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in a large number of dairy products. Following recent outbreaks, this paper deals with pathogenesis, isolation, epidemiology and distribution of Listeria monocytogenes in food. Its reactions in food (e.g. growth, survival, thermal inactivation) under various circumstances is described.
