The '''Listeriaceae''' are a [[family (taxonomy)|family]] of [[Gram-positive]] [[bacteria]] that includes two genera: ''[[Listeria]]'' and ''[[Brochothrix]].''<ref name=":0">{{Citation |last=Mansell |first=Peter D. |title=Infectious Diseases: Listeriosis☆ |date=2022-01-01 |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780128187661000660 |work=Encyclopedia of Dairy Sciences (Third Edition) |pages=343–351 |editor-last=McSweeney |editor-first=Paul L.
