Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen of significant concern to the agricultural and food processing industry because of its ability to grow and persist in cool and moist environments and its association with listeriosis, a disease with a very high mortality rate. Although there have been no listeriosis outbreaks attributed to fresh mushrooms in the United States, retail surveys and recalls are evidence that L. monocytogenes contamination of mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) can occur.

Prevalence, Potential Virulence, and Genetic Diversity of Listeria monocytogenes Isolates From Edible Mushrooms in Chinese Markets
TLDR
Investigation of the prevalence and contamination level of L. monocytogenes in edible mushrooms in Chinese markets and to determine the antibiotic resistance and sequence types (STs) of these isolates to provide data for risk assessments found that ST8 and ST87 were predominant in edible mushroom products, indicating that specific STs may have distinct ecological niches.
Investigating the Prevalence, Persistence, and Diversity of Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria species in Produce Packinghouses
TLDR
Data showed in this longitudinal study that Listeria prevalence and persistence in packinghouses was low (e.g., <4% prevalence).
Prevalence, Persistence, and Diversity of Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria Species in Produce Packinghouses in Three U.S. States.
TLDR
Data from this study support the importance of drain and moisture management, because Listeria were most prevalent in samples collected from drain, cold storage, and wet nonfood contact surface sites, and a high AT diversity was observed among Listersia isolates.
The ability of Listeria monocytogenes to form biofilm on surfaces relevant to the mushroom production environment.
Determination of Listeria monocytogenes Growth during Mushroom Production and Distribution
TLDR
The results showed that the sliced and whole mushrooms had the ability to support growth, while mushroom casing allowed survival but did not supportgrowth, indicating that challenge studies may be a necessary part of growth determination of L. monocytogenes.
Predominance and Distribution of a Persistent Listeria monocytogenes Clone in a Commercial Fresh Mushroom Processing Environment.
TLDR
The overall predominance and persistence of VT11 indicates that it likely colonized the mushroom processing environment and suggests that targeted cleaning and sanitizing procedures can be effective in minimizing the occurrence of L. monocytogenes contamination in processing facilities.
Distribution, contamination routes, and seasonal influence of persistent Listeria monocytogenes in a commercial fresh Hypsizigus marmoreus production facility
A note on challenge trials to determine the growth of Listeria monocytogenes on mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus)
TLDR
The significance of this study is that mushrooms with < 100 cfu/g may be within the regulations and therefore, quantitative rather than qualitative determination may be required.
Influence of Listeria innocua on the attachment of Listeria monocytogenes to stainless steel and aluminum surfaces
A Systematic Review of Listeria Species and Listeria monocytogenes Prevalence, Persistence, and Diversity throughout the Fresh Produce Supply Chain
TLDR
This review identified 64 articles of 4863 candidate articles obtained from four Boolean search queries in six databases investigated Listeria species and L. monocytogenes prevalence, persistence, and diversity at each stage along the supply chain.

Survey of Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat foods.
TLDR
The data collected in this study help to fill gaps in the knowledge about the occurrence of L. monocytogenes in foods, and this new information should be useful in the assessment of the risk posed by the organism to consumers.
Simultaneous Growth of Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria innocua.
TLDR
Growth of three L. monocytogenes strains was studied when inoculated simultaneously with a rhamnose negative L. innocua strain into culture media and cheese sauce, and when media were inoculated individually or simultaneously.

Incidence and persistence of Listeria monocytogenes in the catfish processing environment and fresh fillets.
TLDR
The results of this study suggest that processing environment rather than whole raw catfish is an important source of L. monocytogenes contamination in the catfish fillets.
Physiology and Genetics of Listeria Monocytogenes Survival and Growth at Cold Temperatures
TLDR
In this review, relevant knowledge on L. monocytogenes' ability to adapt to and multiply at low temperature will be summarized and discussed, including selected relevant findings on the physiology and genetics of cold adaptation in other Gram-positive bacteria.

TLDR
The magnitude of the outbreak and risk factors for infection were determined, and a single processing plant was identified as the likely source and company voluntarily recalled 16 million pounds of processed meat.
Reduced detectability of Listeria monocytogenes in the presence of Listeria innocua.
TLDR
There is a need to improve existing procedures with respect to selective enrichment, as well as the detection techniques, to ensure accurate CFU levels of defined proportions of mixtures of both Listeria species.
Detection of Listeria monocytogenes in Samples Containing Listeria innocua.
TLDR
A common culture procedure for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in meats and environmental samples was evaluated in a multilaboratory study using samples inoculated with both ListerIA monocyTogenes and Listersia innocua, consistent with the differences in growth rates for the two organisms in selective media.
Enhanced detection of Listeria spp. in farmstead cheese processing environments through dual primary enrichment, PCR, and molecular subtyping.
TLDR
The results suggest that the extent of contamination by Listeria spp.
