  • Title: Unusual food-borne pathogens. Listeria monocytogenes, Aeromonas, Plesiomonas, and Edwardsiella species.
    Author: Janda JM, Abbott SL.
    Journal: Clin Lab Med; 1999 Sep; 19(3):553-82. PubMed ID: 10549426.
    Abstract:
    Although these four groups of organisms are perceived as infrequent food-borne pathogens or of dubious significance, increasing epidemiologic data indicate that L. monocytogenes is an emerging cause of infections, particularly gastroenteritis. Furthermore, if data are ever generated that prove that most fecal isolates of Aeromonas are involved in bacterial diarrhea, then aeromonads will become recognized as important food-borne pathogens. For Plesiomonas and Edwardsiella, recognition of possible involvement in food-borne disease requires detailed medical histories, including foreign travel, contact with pets or animals, and food consumption histories.
