Consumption of food contaminated by Listeria monocytogenes can result in Listeriosis, an illness with hospitalization rates of 94% and mortality rates up to 30%. As a result, U.S. regulatory agencies governing food safety retain zero-tolerance policies for L. monocytogenes. However, detection at suc...
