Study: Listeriosis Outbreaks Go Undetected in the EU; Whole-Genome Sequencing Can Help
A study conducted by the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has found that most listeriosis outbreaks go undetected.
ECDC’s research looked at 2,726 human Listeria monocytogenes isolates from 27 countries between 2010 and 2015. Less than half of the cases were isolated, while the other half of cases were clustered together.
