Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) is an opportunistic intracellular pathogen that causes listeriosis in human and leads to high mortality rate. L. monocytogenes is resistant to various antibiotics due to its ability to form biofilm. Designing a new generation of antibiotics is a very expensive and time-consuming process. Moreover, the protection of antibiotics via drug delivery system can promote their effectiveness and bioavailability. Nanomedicine can be a promising tool for treating intracellular bacteria and preventing the recurrence of infections. Nanocarriers can be employed as antibacterial agents or as a carrier for antibacterial agents. In the present review, the application of nanotechnology has been discussed for the prevention and treatment of Listeria infection. According to the studies, the application of nanomaterials can be a potential strategy to eradicate infections caused by L. monocytogenes. © 2025 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
