Listeria monocytogenes Infection (Listeriosis)

Listeria monocytogenes infection remains clinically significant because delayed recognition can lead to meningitis, sepsis, fetal loss, neonatal infection, and other severe complications. An important practice gap exists in the early identification and empiric treatment of listeriosis, particularly in older adults, pregnant women, immunocompromised patients, and patients with atypical presentations or negative initial cultures. This activity addresses that gap by reviewing risk-based diagnostic evaluation, interpretation of cerebrospinal fluid and microbiologic findings, appropriate empiric and targeted antimicrobial therapy, and prevention strategies. Participants are expected to gain improved diagnostic accuracy, stronger risk assessment, updated management strategies, and enhanced ability to collaborate with interprofessional team members to reduce complications and improve patient-centered outcomes.
