Аннотация

Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogenic bacterium that causes listeriosis, a serious infection particularly dangerous for pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. The epidemiology of Listeria monocytogenes in Uzbekistan is of increasing concern due to rising reports of foodborne illnesses and changing consumption patterns. This article reviews the epidemiology of listeriosis in Uzbekistan, providing an overview of incidence rates, risk factors, and public health measures in place to combat the spread of this bacterium. Data were collected from national and international health reports, as well as local surveillance systems. Despite limited data availability, there is evidence of underreported cases, especially in rural regions with less developed healthcare infrastructure. The need for improved surveillance, food safety measures, and public awareness is highlighted as key factors for controlling listeriosis in Uzbekistan.
