What is listeriosis?

Listeriosis is a serious infection usually caused by the consumption of food contaminated with the bacterium ‘Listeria monocytogenes’. It is estimated that 1600 people contract listeriosis each year in Spain and that approximately 260 die from the disease, according to data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The infection is most likely to sicken pregnant women and their newborns, adults 65 years of age or older, and persons with weakened immune systems.

This alert has been notified in the context of a outbreak of listeriosis in Italy. However, the AESAN has indicated that there is no record in Spain of no cases reported or associated with this alert.
