Introduction:

Listeriosis is a foodborne disease caused by listeria monocytogenes. Listeria is a gram positive, rod-shaped bacterium found in soil, water, and feces of animals. The contaminated animal feces are transferred to food products that are consumed by humans. Listeria resides in the intestine of the human body. The symptoms of listeriosis include fever, diarrhea, and muscle pain. The source of listeria is uncooked meat, hotdogs, unpasteurized dairy products, and some soft cheeses.
