据外媒报道，近日澳大利亚维多利亚州爆发多起李斯特菌（Listeria）病例，导致一人死亡，至少六人患病。
据报道，维州卫生厅在周四证实，过去一周内已有六人李斯特菌食物中毒，并说这些病案之间没有联系。目前，死者的情况不详，但其他患者的病情据报均有改善。
专家称，在夏季，包括孕妇、新生儿、老年人和免疫系统低下的高危患者，均要警惕李斯特菌疫情。
维州卫生厅称，李斯特菌主要是通过受污染的食物传播，但还无法确定本次疫情发生的具体原因。

One person has died and at least six other people have fallen ill after a spate of food poisoning in Victoria.
The Department of Health confirmed there had been six cases of listeria in the past week, and said the cases were not linked.
No information was provided on the deceased person, however all other patients have reported improved conditions.
A health alert issued to health professionals warns them to “be alert for listeriosis in high-risk patients over the summer months”.
High-risk patients include pregnant women, newborns, older adults and people with weakened immune systems.
