Listeria Monocytogenes, a small facultative anaerobic, gram positive, motile bacillus is a rare, but consequential etiologic agent of food borne illness which inordinately impacts immunocompromised individuals. The organism infects many types of animals and contaminates a multitude of foodstuffs such as milk, chicken, beef and vegetables. This microbe additionally has a distinct proclivity to infect the maternal-fetoplacental unit with resultant adverse perinatal outcomes inclusive of spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, chorioamnionitis, neonatal meningitis and death. We present a case of Listeriosis complicating pregnancy with a subsequent comprehensive review of the literature.
李斯特菌，一种小型兼性厌氧、革兰阳性、能动杆菌，是一种罕见但后果严重的食源性病原体，对免疫功能低下的个体影响尤为严重。该病原体感染多种动物，并污染多种食品，如牛奶、鸡肉、牛肉和蔬菜。这种微生物还特别倾向于感染母婴胎盘单位，导致不良围产期结局，包括自然流产、早产、绒毛膜羊膜炎、新生儿脑膜炎和死亡。我们报告了一例妊娠合并李斯特菌病，并对文献进行了全面回顾。
