Listeriosis Overview

Listeriosis is a serious infection caused by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. It typically occurs after consuming contaminated food. Listeriosis primarily impacts pregnant women, newborns, individuals aged sixty-five and older, and those with compromised immune systems. While healthy individuals may only experience mild symptoms or none at all, listeriosis can pose serious risks, particularly to vulnerable populations. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, nausea, diarrhea, and in severe cases, it can lead to meningitis, septicemia, or pregnancy complications.

Listeriosis Diagnosis and Treatment Algorithm

Listeriosis is typically diagnosed through the growth of listeria monocytogenes in a bacterial culture obtained from body tissues or fluids, such as blood, spinal fluid, or the placenta. Initial diagnosis of listeriosis relies on clinical symptoms and the detection of Listeria bacteria in various samples, including blood, cerebrospinal fluid, newborns' meconium, feces, vomit, foods, or animal feed.

A blood test is often the most effective method for identifying a listeria infection in individuals. In certain cases, urine or spinal fluid samples may also undergo testing. During pregnancy, blood and placenta cultures serve as the most reliable means of confirming whether symptoms are attributable to the condition.

The treatment of listeriosis primarily involves the administration of antibiotics, typically ampicillin or penicillin, given intravenously. The goal of treatment is to eradicate the listeria bacteria from the body and prevent the progression of the infection. While antibiotics can effectively kill the bacteria, the effectiveness of treatment depends on the severity of the infection and the overall health of the patient. In some cases, especially if the infection has spread to the central nervous system or other vital organs, combination therapy with additional antibiotics like trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or erythromycin may be necessary.

Listeriosis Epidemiology

The epidemiology section on the listeriosis market report offers information on the patient populations, including historical and projected trends for each of the seven major markets. Examining key opinion leader views from physicians or clinical experts can assist in identifying the reasons behind historical and projected trends. The diagnosed patient pool, their trends, and the underlying assumptions are all included in this section of the report.

This section also presents the data with relevant tables and graphs, offering a clear and concise view of the prevalence of listeriosis. Additionally, the report discloses the assumptions made during the analysis, ensuring data interpretation and presentation transparency. This epidemiological data is valuable for understanding the disease burden and its impact on the patient population across various regions.

Key Findings

• As per our analysis, in the US the overall incidence of invasive listeriosis has remained stable at around three cases per million population over the last decade. Around 800 laboratory-confirmed cases are reported annually.
• As per the analysis, in the US, L. monocytogenes causes approximately 5% of bacterial meningitis cases in infants <2 months old and about 10% in individuals ≥65 years old.
• As per our analysis, the incidence of listeriosis in pregnancy is approximately ten per 1 lakh, significantly higher than the general population rate of about 0.7 per 100 thousand.
• It is estimated that around 200 cases are likely to occur during pregnancy based on known incidences. Additionally, the incidence of listeriosis in newborns is estimated at a rate of about nine per 100 thousand live births.
• As per our analysis, in Japan, there were an estimated 135–201 cases of listeriosis annually from 2008 to 2011, equivalent to approximately 1.40 cases per million people.
• As per our analysis, the age-standardized notification rate was approximately 0.50 cases per 100 thousand population, with the highest rate seen in individuals over 64 years old at about 2 cases per 100 thousand.

Listeriosis Market Outlook

The treatment of listeriosis primarily involves the administration of antibiotics, typically ampicillin or penicillin, given intravenously. The goal of treatment is to eradicate the listeria bacteria from the body and prevent the progression of the infection. While antibiotics can effectively kill the bacteria, the effectiveness of treatment depends on the severity of the infection and the overall health of the patient.

In some cases, especially if the infection has spread to the central nervous system or other vital organs, combination therapy with additional antibiotics like trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or erythromycin may be necessary. Listeriosis is typically treated with antibiotics, commonly intravenous ampicillin, sometimes in combination with gentamicin.

However, for those with intestinal listeriosis, antibiotic treatment may not always be necessary, as most people recover from this form of the illness without antibiotics. Antibiotics are typically reserved for individuals who are severely ill or at risk of becoming so.

In addition to antibiotic therapy, supportive care is often provided to manage symptoms and complications. This may include intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration, medications to control fever and pain, and close monitoring for signs of organ failure or sepsis.

With ongoing research and continued dedication, the future holds hope for even more effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure for this challenging condition. According to DelveInsight, the Listeriosis market in the 7MM is expected to change significantly during the study period 2020–2034.
