The Listeriaceae are a family of Gram-positive bacteria that includes two genera: Listeria and Brochothrix. ^{[2] [3] [1]} They are short, rod-shaped bacteria that are aerobic or facultatively anaerobic. ^[2] Spores are not formed, but under stress these bacteria can form filaments. ^[2] Some species, namely Listeria monocytogenes , can cause human and animal listeriosis. While not all bacteria in the Listeriaceae family are considered a danger to humans, some are strongly associated with food borne illness or microbial spoilage, so they remain a topic of interest in agricultural industries. ^[2]

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) ^[1] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). ^[4]
