MacDonald et al (2005)

  • Mexican-style cheeses made and sold unlawfully have also caused outbreaks of foodborne listeriosis. In 2000, there was an outbreak of listeriosis among Hispanic persons living in Winston-Salem area of North Carolina, as reported by Mac Donald et al.
  • 13 patients were identified. 11 case patients were pregnant and infection with Lm resulted in 5 stillbirths, 3 premature deaths and 3 infected newborns.
  • The authors concluded that the outbreak was caused by the "consumption of non-commercial, homemade, Mexican-style cheese produced from contaminated raw milk sold to unlicensed cheese makers by a local dairy".
