There is evidence that [[Listeria monocytogenes]] had been identified in [[histological]] sections years before its formal discovery, before World War I, in Sweden by Hulphers. However, since no cultures were preserved, this is considered a supposition.

In 1926, ''[[Listeria monocytogenes]]'' was first isolated from laboratory rabbits, following an [[outbreak]] in laboratory animals, by the bacteriologist Everitt George Dunne Murray who named it ''Bacterium monocytogenes''. This is the oldest well preserved culture of the bacteria, which is kept at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. During the following years Listeria was mostly found among domestic animals, being responsible for different outbreaks around the world.

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.
