causes listeriosis, a serious foodborne illness with a high mortality rate, especially in vulnerable populations. It accounts for 19% of foodborne deaths, with invasive cases having a mortality rate of up to 44%, leading to conditions like meningitis, bacteremia, and meningoencephalitis. However, the prognostic factors remain unclear.

Listeriosis is an important foodborne zoonotic disease affecting humans and animals in Ethiopia. This review aims to synthesize the epidemiology, prevalence, distribution, and antimicrobial resistance of Listeria species in the country. The literature reveals a widespread occurrence of Listeria infection in humans, animals, and food products, with an average prevalence of 21.

Article Synopsis
- Listeria monocytogenes is a dangerous foodborne pathogen causing serious illness, especially in pregnant women and newborns, with certain genetic groups (clonal complexes) linked to outbreaks in different regions, particularly in Europe and the U.S.
- In China, a specific strain known as CC619 is prominent, primarily found in livestock and poultry, and is associated with perinatal infections, indicating pigs and chickens could be its main reservoirs.
- The CC619 strain carries multiple pathogenicity islands (LIPI-1, LIPI-3, and LIPI-4), making it highly virulent, and its unique genetic traits suggest a need for increased research and monitoring to understand its spread and impact on
