The Return of Listeria
Intro
Listeria monocytogenes, the species most known for causing listeriosis, can be found in a wide range of foods, including raw veggies, meat, and dairy products. Consuming food tainted with Listeria monocytogenes can cause flu-like symptoms in healthy people. However in groups like the elderly, pregnant women, newborns, and people with compromised immune systems, it can result in serious illness, including meningitis. In order to prevent Listeria contamination, proper food handling and hygiene procedures are essential. For my Wiki page, I would like to explore the effects listeria monocytogenes has on the human body depending on the age and the diverse immune systems. Discussing symptoms and treatment plans would also be in the wiki page. I could identify the environment and human impacts on listeria. I would look closely into the gene expression to determine how it works and the risk of listeria monocytogenes should be handled properly.
