• Corporate Authors:
  Center for Disease Control.
• Description:
  In 1970, 113 cases of listeriosis were reported to the Center for Disease Control by 26 states. However, listeriosis is not one of the diseases reported by agreement between State and Territorial Epidemiologists and CDC. Information on the cases summarized in this report was obtained from several sources, including State Health Departments that elect to report cases of listeriosis to the CDC, and by isolates of Listeria monocytogenes received for confirmation and serotyping by the Bacterial Immunology Unit, Laboratory Division, CDC. In addition, the various State Health Department laboratories were contacted and asked to report the number of isolates of L. monocytogenes from humans obtained by that laboratory during 1970. L. monocytogenes was isolated from all persons included in this report, but information regarding the presence, nature, and severity of symptoms and signs is lacking in some cases.
