Misunderstanding of CFR

> When a person is infected, that person has a 30% chance of death from this bacterial infection

This misquotes the cited paper and greatly overstates the lethality of this bacteria. The case fatality rate is the percentage of diagnosed cases that result in a death, not the number of infections that do. It is overwhelmingly likely that most listeria infections, and especially those for which humans are not the definitive hosts are never diagnosed.

I looked into this statement a bit more and ultimately removed it. The source cited, "Encyclopedia of Food Microbiology, 2nd Ed", doesn't even talk about mortality rate of L. ivanovii, but rather listeriosis in general which it states has a mortality rate of 20-30% (see p.736 & 954). Given the information in the cited source, there's no evidence to support the above sentence. Rappe (talk) 15:05, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
