Listeria est un genre bactérien, qui compte 20 espèces,,, dont Listeria monocytogenes, seule pathogène pour les humains où elle provoque la listériose (l'une des zoonoses les plus graves). Les autres espèces comprennent, entre autres, Listeria innocua, Listeria ivanovii subsp. ivanovii, Listeria ivanovii subsp. londoniensis, Listeria grayi, Listeria seeligeri, Listeria welshimeri, Listeria costaricensis, Listeria goaensis et Listeria thailandensis. Les Listeria, nommées d'après Joseph Lister, sont des bacilles de petite taille, mobiles à 20 °C (grâce à des flagelles), gram positif. Toutes les espèces sont catalases positives, non sporulées, et anaérobies facultatifs. Ce sont des bactéries ubiquistes qu’on trouve presque partout ; dans le sol, en épiphyte sur les végétaux, l’eau, etc. Très résistantes, elles peuvent survivre aux traitements de nettoyage-désinfection et ainsi persister dans les ateliers de production de l’industrie agroalimentaire.

Listeria is a genus of bacteria that acts as an intracellular parasite in mammals. As of 2024, 28 species have been identified. The genus is named in honour of the British pioneer of sterile surgery Joseph Lister. Listeria species are Gram-positive, rod-shaped, and facultatively anaerobic, and do not produce endospores.
