everything you need to know about listeriosis

Answer 2

While anyone can become ill from eating food contaminated by the bacteria, pregnant women, newborns and adults with weakened immune systems are most at risk. Pregnant women are about 20 times more likely than other healthy adults to get listeriosis. About one-third of all reported cases happen during pregnancy. Infection during pregnancy may result in spontaneous abortion during the second and third trimesters or stillbirth.

Those with weakened immune systems (for example, the elderly and persons with cancer, diabetes or kidney disease or HIV/AIDS) are more likely to get listeriosis than people with normal immune systems.
