This bacterium is a common cause of foodborne illness and can contaminate a wide range of food products, including ready-to-eat foods. Listeria infection can be particularly dangerous for pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems. It can cause symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, nausea, and diarrhea. In severe cases, it can lead to meningitis or septicemia, which can be life-threatening. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure proper food handling, storage, and hygiene practices to prevent the growth and spread of Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat foods.
