ABSTRACTListeriosis is an infection caused by Gram-positive bacteria mostly present in food of animal origin consumed cold. The infection occurs most commonly via the oral route. The disease usually affects immunodeficient patients, pregnant women and newborns. In neonates it can appear as an early or late onset infection depending on the time of becoming infected, the course being very grave and mortality very high, with neurological complications appearing in 10–15% of cases. In this case study the authors present a case a newborn with a severe maternal infection of Listeria monocytogenes.
