What is Listeriosis?
Listeriosis is a serious infection caused by eating food tainted with the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [2]. The disease primarily affects elderly people, pregnant women, children, and individuals with compromised immune systems. However, people without these risk factors may also develop listeriosis.
