The Listeria is spread by ingestion and eating foods that are contaminated with the bacteria. This illness is very common with the pregnant women and the newly born children.
Just listeria, or the disease is listeriosis
Listeria monocytogenes is motile, meaning it has the ability to move using flagella. This allows the bacteria to move and spread within various environments, including food products and the human body.
Listeria is a bacteria that can contaminate food and cause a serious infection called listeriosis when consumed. A listeria plant would probably refer to a plant that has been infected by listeria.

Those suffering from listeria may exhibit the following symptoms: fever, muscle aches, nausea, and diarrhea.

What about it?
Listeria is not susceptible to cephalosporins... ampicillin is used instead
Listeria monocytogenes is unusual because it can grow at refrigeration temperatures, allowing it to multiply in foods stored in the fridge. It is also one of the few bacteria that can spread from the digestive system to the bloodstream and cause serious infections, particularly in vulnerable populations such as pregnant women, newborns, and the elderly.
Listeria bacteria can pass through the wall of the intestines, and from there they can get into the blood stream.
Yes, UV light can effectively kill Listeria. Listeria is sensitive to UV-C light, which can disrupt the DNA and RNA of the bacteria, ultimately killing it. UV light is often used as a method for disinfection to eliminate pathogens like Listeria in various settings.
