Listeria monocytogenes is a type of bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, older adults and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, but listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
