“…A remarkable feature of prosthetic joint infection with L. monocytogenes is the long period between implantation of the prosthetic device and manifestation of the infection. The late occurrence of the infection in prosthetic joints suggests a transient bacteremia and hematogenous route of infection and most likely is not associated with the surgical operation itself [1][2][3][4]7,12,[14][15][16]18,20,21]. As in the present patient, the disease expresses as severe joint pain and fever.…”

“…Nieman et al, were the first to report in 1980, on L. monogytogenes arthritis [11]. Meningitis and sepsis in neonatal infants, bacteremia, endocarditis, prosthetic valve endocarditis, and endophthalmitis are the infections reported most frequently; osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, and prosthetic joint infections are rare [1][2][3][4][5]7,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

Predisposing conditions and co-morbidities usually are required for L. monocytogenes infection. Listeria is fastidious and is not a recognized laboratory isolate or hospital contaminant; routine cultures therefore may be negative. In approximately one-half of the reported cases, the prosthetic joint infections were treated successfully by two-stage revision surgery plus long-term antibiotic therapy. In most cases, ampicillin and gentamicin are the first choice. Cephalosporins are rarely effective.

“…La lesión articular previa y, en mayor grado, la presencia de una prótesis, favorecen el decantamiento local de los microorganismos durante las bacteriemias (2,4). L. monocytogenes ha mostrado una marcada predilección por los implantes articulares (25,31) incluso en pacientes inmunocompetentes, de modo que de las siete artritis sépticas descritas en este subgrupo, cinco asentaron sobre prótesis. La respuesta inmune frente a esta bacteria intracelular es compleja.…”

“…monocytogenes es habitualmente sensible in vitro a penicilina G, ampicilina, eritromicina, cotrimoxazol y tetraciclinas. La antibioterapia intravenosa suele realizarse con penicilina o con ampicilina, preferiblemente combinadas con aminoglucósi-dos, pero la elección ha de basarse en el antibiograma y en las características particulares del paciente (25). A igual que en las demás artritis sépticas, se recomiendan pautas superiores a seis semanas.…”

CASO APORTADOMujer de 76 años con antecedentes de cardiopatía isquémica, diagnosticada de artritis reumatoide seronegativa en 1992 por una [0212-7199 (2006) RESUMENListeria es un bacilo grampositivo que puede aislarse del suelo y de las heces de la mayoría de los mamíferos. Rara vez es patógena en la población sana, pero, en pacientes inmunocomprometidos, puede provocar diversas infecciones focales y, sobre todo, meningoencefalitis y sepsis. No obstante, las artritis sépticas son complicaciones excepcionales. Aportamos un nuevo caso de artritis séptica por L. monocytogenes sobre una prótesis de rodilla en una paciente con artritis reumatoide seropositiva y macroglobulinemia de Waldenström. Adicionalmente se revisa la literatura acerca de las infecciones articulares por Listeria.

“…Less common focal infections derived from hematogenous spread which includes endocarditis, peritonitis, septic arthritis or endopthalmitis [34]. Focal infections with cholecystitis, prosthetic joint infection and infections of arterial grafts have also been observed [35]. Lastly, cutaneous listeriosis may complicate those with eczematous skin and occupational exposure to infected animals [36].…”

Foodborne diseases are among the most widespread public health problems and are human infections transmitted through ingested food, and caused by pathogens whose natural reservoir is a vertebrate animal species. Globally, foodborne diseases resulted in over 600 million illnesses and 420,000 deaths in 2010.The majority of the pathogens causing microbial foodborne diseases are considered to be zoonotic. Presently, there are more than 350 zoonoses of multiple etiologies, which are reported from developing as well as developed nations of the world. However, listeriosis has received special attention due to the severity of infections resulting into high morbidity and mortality. Among the various species of the genus Listeria, Listeria monocytogens is recognized as the principal cause of listeriosis in humans as well as animals including birds. The most common route of infection of humans is consumption of foods contaminated by L. monocytogenes. Raw milk, pasteurized milk, soft cheeses, ice cream, meat and meat products, fish and fish products, eggs and egg products, fruits and vegetables may serve as important sources of L. monocytogenes. The organism can survive and grow over a wide range of environmental conditions such as refrigeration temperatures, low pH and high salt concentration. This allows the pathogen to overcome food preservation and safety barriers, and pose a potential risk to human health. In humans, it can lead to meningitis, encephalitis, septicemia, abortion, pneumonia, endocarditis, urethritis, diarrhea, conjunctivitis, and skin infections. The vulnerable groups are pregnant women, infants, older persons, and individuals with weakened immune system. It is recommended to undertake more sincere efforts to make sure the safe handling of various foods to minimize the contamination of L. monocytogenese, which has emerged as an important foodborne pathogen of global significance.
