The National Reference Center (NRC) for Listeria, within Sciensano’s Bacterial Diseases department, reports between 60 and 80 cases of listeriosis each year. 10-15% of cases are pregnancy related. 

Sciensano helps to diagnose cases of listeriosis, to identify the sources of contamination, to control food products, monitors the epidemiology of listeriosis in Belgium and the sensitivity of Listeria to antibiotics.
