The correct Answer is C

Listeria is one of the few bugs capable of growing at fridge temperatures, hence the advice not to eat food stored at such temperatures, e.g. cooked meats, cook-chilled meals, coleslaw etc.

It is classically associated with produce made from non-pasteurised milk such as soft cheeses.

It mostly presents with a flu-like illness and in pregnancy is suspected when a patient is seen with such symptoms, particularly if associated with signs of threatened premature labour.

In addition to the risk from prematurity, there is an increased risk of intra-uterine and neonatal death. Treatment is with an antibiotic such as ampicillin.
