A member asked:
Is there a cure for a listeria infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: While most listeria infections clear spontaneously, patients who are considered high risk due to pregnancy, old age or other factors, can be treated with antibiotics. Typically Ampicillin is the treatment of choice for listeria.
