ABSTRACT
Listeria Monocytogenes, a small facultative anaerobic, gram positive, motile bacillus is a rare, but consequential etiologic agent of food borne illness which inordinately impacts immunocompromised individuals. The organism infects many types of animals and contaminates a multitude of foodstuffs such as milk, chicken, beef and vegetables. This microbe additionally has a distinct proclivity to infect the maternal-fetoplacental unit with resultant adverse perinatal outcomes inclusive of spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, chorioamnionitis, neonatal meningitis and death. We present a case of Listeriosis complicating pregnancy with a subsequent comprehensive review of the literature.
