The genus Listeria contains six species, two of which are pathogenic: Listeria monocytogenes, the food-borne human pathogen responsible for listeriosis, on which this chapter is focused, and L. ivanovii, an animal pathogen.. Phages of Listeria monocytogenes are, with a few exceptions, specific with respect to the serogroup of the host cells. The major serogroups (1/2 and 4) can be differentiated on the basis of somatic antigen composition and sugar substitution of cell wall teichoic acids (TAs) (. ).
