Un po‟ di storia
• 1924 – Australia: Murray descrive un nuovo germe che chiama
  Bacterium monocytogenes
• 1940 – USA : Pirie intitola il germe a Lister
• 1949 – Germania: caso di granulomatosi infanti septica (85 feti
  abortiti e neonati morti)
• Patel isola da tutti un battere che crede un Corynebacterium;
  Seelinger vi riconosce Listeria
• 1983- Francia: Rocourt distingue L. monocytogenes da altre Listerie
  e intuisce che è l’unica patogena per l’uomo
• 1983 – Canada: Schlech descrive il primo caso di listeriosi umana da
  alimenti (crauti fermentati)
• 1999 - Francia-USA: Charpentier e Courvalin, AAC;43 (9): 2103
  "Listeria stil considered to be susceptible to almost all antibiotics,
  will evolve toward multiresistence".

Listeria monocytogenes
Organisms are widespread (ubiquitous)-- found in soil, food, water, sewage

L. monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen (LISTERIOSIS).
Because of the organism‟s exceptional abilities to cross three tight barriers,
the mortality rate is high (~30%).
         (1) Intestinal barrier
         (2) Blood-brain barrier (meningitis)
         (3) Placental barrier (abortion)

       Individuals exceptionally vulnerable to death via. listeriosis
                 (1) AIDS patients
                 (2) Chemotherapy patients
                 (3) Diabetics
                 (4) Organ transplant recipients
                 (5) Unborn

  Healthy adults do show transient fecal carriage of L. monocytogenes.

Listeria sclerokeratitis
• A 25-year-old non–contact lens–wearing male rugby player
was referred with progressive infective sclerokeratitis unresponsive
to topical antivirals and antibiotics. On examination, visual acuity
was perception of light, and a large corneal abscess with overlying
epithelial defect and hypopyon was present. The corneal lesion was
cheesy white and raised with nasal scleritis. This raised the suspicion
of a fungal keratitis. Empirical treatment with intensive topical
antifungals was unsuccessful. A previous corneal scrape had been
negative for bacteria and fungi. A corneal biopsy was performed, and
Listeria monocytogenes was eventually isolated from enrichment culture.
Antibiotic sensitivities showed it to be resistant to cefuroxime,
methicillin, and ceftazidime but sensitive to all other antibiotics tested
including ofloxacin. The treatment course was complicated by a
corneal perforation that needed an emergency therapeutic penetrating
Keratoplasty

Listeriosi: le scelte terapeutiche

• Sono raccomandazioni sulla base di dati di suscettibilità
antibiotica "in vitro", modelli animali ed esperienze clinica su
piccoli numeri di pazienti comparati a controlli storici che
danno luogo ad interpretazioni e preferenze individuali

• Non disponiamo di studi clinici controllati per stabilire scelte
e durata delle terapie per le Listeriosi

• Ci sono revisioni complete sulle attività anti- microbiche
contro la Listeria e il suo trattamento
Susceptibility of Listeria
   monocytogenes to antibiotics

• Fully susceptible
  – Penicillin, ampicillin, azlocillin,
    imipenem
  – All aminoglycosides
  – Vancomycin, teichoplanin
  – Cotrimoxazole, rifampin, tetracycline
  – Linezolid

Résumé / Abstract
We report a case of acute bacterial meningitis due to Listeria monocytogenes whose
                                    high-dose levofloxacin
successful treatment was mainly attributable to
therapy (500 mg iv bid). This supports the hypothesis that
levofloxacin may be an effective option for the treatment of
l i s t e r i a l           m e n i n g i t i s .
Predictors of mortality and impact of
     aminoglycosides on outcome
• Retrospective mortality study in a large
  tertiary care hospital in Barcelona
  1983-2006
• Adult, non-pregnant cases
• 118 episodes (16 excluded as died in
Predictors of mortality and impact of
    aminoglycosides on outcome
• Evenly matched except > corticosteroid
  exposure (p = number
  presented with coma (p=.027) in
  combination rx group
• Overall mortality 33% in combination
  group vs 14.5% in monotherapy (p=.03)
• Early mortality 8 x greater in
  combination rx group (OR = 2-33)

Predictors of mortality and impact of
     aminoglycosides on outcome
• 57% of combination group received
  “inadequate therapy” including a
  cephalosporin (42%)
• Multivariate analyses demonstrated age,
  corticosteroids, and renal failure as
  significant predictors of early mortality
  and neoplastic disease and coma as late
  predictors

• Conclusions – aminoglycosides are not
  beneficial and may be harmful in
  treatment of listeriosis but non-
  cephalosporin beta-lactams are key to
  effective treatment

Treatment Listeria
     monocytogenes infections
• Ampicillin and gentamicin remains the best
  studied regimen
• Cephalosporins are uniformly inactive
• Moxifloxacin active (Grayo, XVI ISOPOL)
• Linezolid active, Torezolid
• Length of treatment should be 3 weeks for
  sepsis and meningitis and 6 weeks for brain
  abscess or endocarditis (Lorber, CID, 1997)

Summary
• Recent reviews suggest an upswing in non-perinatal
  listeriosis, especially sepsis
• Risk factors include age and immunosuppression,
  including use of newer agents such as monoclonals
  and TNF-alpha inhibitors
• NF has now been reported with LM
• Recent data suggests that aminoglycosides may be
  harmful but more data required before altering
  standard beta-lactam + Ag treatment
• Newer agents such as linezolid and moxifloxacin may
  not be as useful as expected
• Use of adjunctive corticosteroid treatment continues
  to be anecdotal – perhaps best reserved for abscess
  or severe illness
