Listeria monocytogenes is a bacteria that can cause severe listeriosis, which is a serious and potentially fatal infection. Symptoms of listeriosis include fever, muscle aches, sweating, and diarrhea.
If left untreated, listeriosis can lead to death.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a warning about Listeria monocytogenes and recalls of food products. The CDC advises people to wash their hands often, avoid close contact with people who are sick, and cook food thoroughly.
