Sažetak
ABSTRACT
Listeriosis is a zoonosis usually transmitted through contaminated food or vertically from mother to foetus. In an immunocompetent, adult person the infection results in transitory asymptomatic gastrointestinal colonization or febrile, non-invasive gastroenteritis. The infection of the foetus, newborn or immunocompromised person can result in a serious invasive disease with high mortality rate. As a facultative intracellular pathogen, Listeria monocytogenes is widely used as model for studying cellular biology and mechanisms of cellular immunity.
