Possible Antibiotics: Listeriosis is dangerous in pregnancy and can lead to fetal death. That being said, most of the time when these food borne illness scares occur patients haven't even been exposed to the disease in question. If you still have the questionable hummus, take it to your physician and they might be able to have it tested. If it is positive, they may recommend antibiotics as prophylaxis.

F/U with OB: First, I would remain calm. If you haven't already, I would follow up with your OB immediately and discuss the situation. He/She will be able to discuss a plan for further evaluation.
