Hospital outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes septicaemia: a problem of cross infection?

H T Green, M B Macaulay.   

Abstract

A 74-year-old man was admitted to hospital with septicaemia and meningitis caused by Listeria monocytogenes. Subsequently 3 inpatients developed listeria septicaemia. Case-to-case transmission of the infection seems possible, although the method of transmission remains obscure.
