Abstract
AbstractListeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes), a foodborne pathogen, can cause human listeriosis. Listeriosis is a potentially fatal gastrointestinal illness, which is closely related to the spread of food to humans. We review the literature published during 2010–2019 to better understand the prevalence of L. monocytogenes in food products, incidence of human listeriosis, and their characteristics in Chinese mainland. We found the main sequence types (STs) strains from foods are similar globally, and the prevalence of L. monocytogenes from raw meat was the highest among all food products. The most common STs in food products and clinical cases were ST9 (serogroup I.2) strains and ST87 (serogroup II.2) strains, respectively. The ST87 strains being the most common STs of clinical cases might be related to the existence of Listeria pathogenicity island 4 gene and Chinese eating habits for ready-to-eat foods, among which the prevalence of ST87 strain was the highest in ready-to-eat foods. Therefore, more research should be conducted to explore the reasons for the L. monocytogenes isolates differences in food and clinical sources.
