Listeria monocytogenes is a non-spore forming coccobacillus found in soil, water, mammals, birds, fish, insects. It enters the body in contaminated food and drink. Binds to surface macrophage and triggers its own phagocytosis – after forming a hole in the phagosome membrane it grows and reproduce inside the cytosol – then tunnels to the cell surface where it forms pseudopods – a neighboring macrophage phagocytizes the pseudopod then cycle begins again. It is a ______ bacterium.
