Texas Shuts Down Celery Plant After Five Deadly Listeria Cases Reported

...

The state of Texas yesterday shut down a San Antonio produce plant after lab tests found Listeria monocytogenes in packaged celery products sold to hospitals, restaurants and schools.

The investigation was launched after 10 people got sick and five of them died.

...

Listeria poisoning can cause fever, headache, nausea, and preterm labor, as well as death. Contaminated fresh fruits and vegetables, raw milk, and raw meats are frequent culprits, says the Food and Drug Administration.

Listeria is a bacterial genus containing six species[1]. Ostensibly named after the English pioneer of sterile surgery, Joseph Lister, the genus was given its current name in 1940. Listeria species are Gram-positive bacilli and are typified by L. monocytogenes, the causative agent of listeriosis.

Listeria ivanovii is a pathogen of ruminants, and can infect mice in the laboratory, although it is only rarely the cause of human disease.
I didnt know Listeria was a real thing. Just some made-up word for her AO name. Learning is fun!
