   Is Listeria invasive?

   • Yes. CDC estimates that Listeria is the third leading cause of death from foodborne illness in the United States. Listeria can also cause an intestinal illness that is usually mild. When Listeria bacteria spread beyond the intestines, we call the infection invasive. CDC only tracks Listeria illnesses that are invasive.
