The Listeria Issue
Listeria monocytogenes can be considered a ubiquitous organism: widespread in nature, the environment and in living organisms. The organism has saprophytic ability, deriving nourishment from dead or decaying organic matter, and demonstrates extreme resistance to dehydration, physical agents and environmental conditions.
Faced with a spread of microorganism so pervasive both in the environment and within our food chain, the incidence of the disease is demonstrated between 2 and 11 cases per million population per year (depending on the country) with a mortality rate much higher than other pathogens.
