Listeriosis in Pregnancy: Practitioners' Food Safety Counselling Practices to Pregnant Women.

CONCLUSION: Advising pregnant women about behaviours and lifestyle habits to prevent infectious diseases remains important, and information about preventive practices needs to be complete and adequate. The health care providers who participated in this study did express a clear need for information related to food safety during pregnancy and listeriosis, as supported by their lack of knowledge in some areas. If that lack is remedied, the knowledge gained could improve counselling practices. PMID: 30030057 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
