First report on isolation of Listeria ivanovii from a cat
Listeria ivanovii, which is more commonly known as a ruminant pathogen, can also cause severe infections in cats. This is, to our knowledge, the first report on the isolation of this microorganism from internal organs in a cat. This finding underscores the importance of careful interpretation of isolation results when uncommon pathogens are involved, particularly in host species where their pathogenicity has not been previously documented.
