The Listeria genus is distinguished into six species from which just one--Listeria monocytogenes is pathogenic for humans. The main route of acquisition of Listeria is through the ingestion of contaminated food products. An important element of the L. monocytogenes pathogenesis infection is affiliation with high-risk group of immunocompromised patients, infants or pregnant women, who infected by this microorganism can lead to miscarriage. Listeriosis can appear in the form of sepsis, infection of the nervous system or local abscesses. Another form of listeriosis is gastrointestinal tract infection--noticed in case of food poisoning outbreak.
李斯特菌属分为六个种，其中只有一种——单核细胞增生李斯特菌对人类具有致病性。感染李斯特菌的主要途径是摄入受污染的食品。单核细胞增生李斯特菌致病感染的一个重要因素是与免疫功能低下患者、婴儿或孕妇等高风险群体有关，这些人感染这种微生物可能会导致流产。李斯特菌病可以表现为败血症、神经系统感染或局部脓肿的形式。李斯特菌病的另一种形式是胃肠道感染——在食物中毒暴发时会被注意到。
