The Listeriaceae are a family of Gram-positive bacteria that includes two genera: Listeria and Brochothrix.[1][2][3] They are short, rod-shaped bacteria that are aerobic or facultatively anaerobic.[1] Spores are not formed, but under stress these bacteria can form filaments.[1] Some species, namely Listeria monocytogenes, can cause human and animal listeriosis. While not all bacteria in the Listeriaceae family are considered a danger to humans, some are strongly associated with food borne illness or microbial spoilage, so they remain a topic of interest in agricultural industries.[1]
