Early invasive Listeria monocytogenes infection after orthotopic liver transplantation: Case report and review of the literature
Thomas Kruszyna, Mark Walsh, Kevork Peltekian, Michele Molinari – 27 December 2007 – Infection with Listeria monocytogenes is rare, with a reported annual incidence of 4.4 cases per million individuals. It is caused by a gram‐positive rod‐shaped bacterium (Listeria monocytogenes) that can be found in soil, vegetation, water, sewage, and silage and in feces of humans and animals. It is a facultative intracellular pathogen with the ability to survive and multiply in phagocytic host cells, even in adverse environmental circumstances.
