listeria Bacteriology.|lɪˈstɛrɪə|
Pl. listeria, -ias.
[mod.L., f. listerella + -ia1 (see quot. 1940).]
Any bacterium of the genus Listeria, formerly called Listerella, esp. L. monocytogenes which is a widespread pathogen of man and animals.
[1940J. H. Pirie in Science 19 Apr. 383, I have been informed..that the new name Listerella which I proposed for a genus of bacteria in 1927 had already been given to a Mycetozoan by Jahn in 1906 and to one of the Foraminifera by Cushman in 1939. My proposed name, therefore, becomes a homonym, but as the genus has acquired some importance in both human and veterinary pathology and references to ‘Listerellosis’ are becoming fairly common in literature, I think that a name as near to my original proposal as possible is desirable. I therefore propose Listeria, as the name for the genus of bacteria as defined by me in Publication No. XX of the South African Institute for Medical Research.] 1961Lancet 2 Sept. 514/1 The amniotic fluid was examined again..and listeria grew copiously from it.
Hence liˈsterial, liˈsteric adjs., caused by or derived from listerias; listeriˈosis, infection with or disease caused by listerias.
