title: Listeria Monocytogenes infections.
abstract: This article reviews current information regarding human infection with Listeria monocytogenes. Significant advances have occurred in regard to our knowledge of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, immunology, and treatment of this disease which was formerly believed to be of importance mainly to veterinarians. It remains a cause of high mortality in the many different groups of compromised hosts it infects unless diagnosis and treatment are rapidly established.
