message: Since it's a disease, could anyone who knows more about it add typical symptoms and other information on that to this page? I, however, know nothing, so I apologize for not doing so myself. >_> 67.83.72.38 22:58, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggestion 

message: Only people named Larry get this disease.  I have always known it as Listeria seeligeri, but upon a cursory look around the web I have found both spellings mentioned. Not sure if it's a regional thing or what, anyone else know?ClamsonJ 20:49, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature, Listeria seeligeri is the correct form. I've changed the Listeria page to reflect the corrected spelling. -- MarcoTolo 20:55, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: ''L. seeligeri''

message: Are you absolutly sure about this?:
"Listeria induces macrophage phagocytic uptake by displaying D-galactose receptors that are then bound by the macrophage's polysaccharide receptors (Notably, in most bacterial infections it is the host cell, not the bacteria, that displays the polysaccharide)."
From what I am aware, Listeria monocytogenes binds to E-cadherin of intestinal epithelial cells inducing phagocytosis.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Diuness (talk • contribs) 02:22, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cell invasion 

message: Are humans infected by spores, or by live organisms? How does it survive passage through the digestive tract? How many spores or cells must normally be ingested at once for infection to occur? Are certain HLA types more susceptible than others? Apparently, most people exposed or infected never become ill. What accounts for the small number who do? Is it just chance? Inquiring minds want to know. 69.108.167.22 (talk) 02:35, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Initial infection 

message: Looked this article up after reading in NYT about a listeria outbreak fr/ organic produce. This article tells me nothing about the vectors of infection, in other words, HOW ARE PEOPLE INFECTED, do they ingest it, breath it, drink it, through a skin break? The article also isn't written for laypeople to understand it. The 'clarity of writing' rating is way to high. Can someone please remedy this? Tapered (talk) 03:52, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Good feedback.  I did add a signs and symptoms section. Gandydancer (talk) 12:46, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I see the problem here.  It seems that Listeria comes in 6 varieties and it is the Listeria monocytogenes that leads to the disease.  Rather than cover this variety so thoroughly in this article it should direct to the Listeria monocytogenes article and that one should direct to the disease article - which is where we should be putting this information on this current outbreak.  If someone that works on bacteria articles would do this, it would be great.  If nobody else takes care of it, I will see what I can do even though it is a little out of my range of knowledge.

thread_title: Written for Scientists Only, Overrated

message: I am trying to do some work on the article, since the media keeps saying that "Listeria" has caused infections, when they really mean Listeria monocytogenes (come on, that just rolls off the tongue!). This article is about the Listeria genus, which contains at least 7 species. Only one (barely two) actually cause disease in humans. Hopefully I can reorganize the article to better reflect this, and hopefully redirect casual readers to the relevent articles at Listeriosis and Listeria monocytogenes.

replies: text: Hi there!  I should have started a new section - see my above edit.  I have added some info to the listeriosis article which I believe would be the appropriate one.  Thoughts? Gandydancer (talk) 17:58, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. I noticed your last comment after I started this section, so it was a little redundant. Still, I feel it would be best for the article to shorten the signs/symptoms section and created a Main article - Listeriosis at the top of the section.
