Listeria is a type of bacteria. It causes infections marked by high fever, headache, nausea, stomach pain, stiffness and diarrhea. Infections are often short-term in healthy patients. However, they can cause serious, sometimes deadly illness in the very young and the elderly, as well as in those with weakened immune systems.
