''[[Listeria monocytogenes]]'' (formerly ''Bacterium monocytogenes'') was isolated in 1926 by Everitt Murray and renamed [[Listeria monocytogenes]] in 1940 after [[Joseph Lister]], in honor of his discovery of sterilization to prevent surgical infection. Initially described as a [[bacteria]] of laboratory animals, the first human cases were described in 1929 by Nyfeldt, in Denmark.

Overview

Listeria monocytogenes (formerly Bacterium monocytogenes) was first isolated in 1926 by Everitt Murray. The organism was renamed Listeria monocytogenes in 1940 in honor of Joseph Lister. Initially described as a bacteria of laboratory animals, the first human cases were described in 1929 by Nyfeldt in Denmark.
