[edit] Is

Is anyone on this Talk page interested in Internalin B?

Receptor is gC1q-R. What else you want to know?

[edit] References

Shouldn't this article include citations of some kind? Of particular note is that the section of general information seems to be copied verbatim from the FDA's Bad Bug Book. Don't think you want accusations of plagirism in Wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.195.248.93 (talk • contribs) .

Most of the publications of the US gov't are in the Public domain. Wikipedia uses many such texts as starting points for articles. --Nnp 18:21, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plagiarism (extensive and deliberate)

Much of the text of this page is indeed identical with the USFDA web page that it references, just as the unsigned comment says. Paragraphs 3 through 7 are word for word identical. (I have not checked the remainder--perhaps someone should. ). Citing the reference you are copying does not make it one's own work--it is plgiarism just the same. Although it may be acceptable to base an article on reliable public domain material, I would think that here as elsewhere it is not appropriate to use it in the entirety. If this has been done for similar pages, they too should be examined. What is the purpose of copying text thatcan be (and is!) given as an external reference?

I wonder what the intellectual role of an editor might be. Merely to go through a standard handbook and copy the pages?

I'm new here, and if this is the accepted practice, please point me at the appropriate policy page(s), and I will discuss the general issue there. I apologize if i am ignorant of the customs for this sort of thing. Nnp, I'd discuss this by email, but it seems your user page does not provide for email?. DGG 22:14, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How About less "Technical"

A (6th grade) intro A paragraph on the medium by which this is cultured or remains in nature to be hosted by humans. Bioweapon potential? Potential for spraying on crops such as the recient "Organic" spinach and lettice infectious incidents. The journalism I uz taut says to rite at a 6th grade level fer Jethro's out hyer.

[edit] Jamba Juice

Supposely Jamba Juice products have been found to be infected with this mean germ —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 146.95.167.104 (talk) 19:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Detection

I added this section just now, for a .jpg that I took some time back when I was working with LM. I thought I'd get this section started and eventually add info about how the presence of Listeria is detected.

[edit] Route of exposure

This section in the article is composed entirely of information that belongs under epidemiology, and should be moved there. That will of course orphan this section. I was thinking this section should be removed anyway as the only really recognized route of exposure is oral, and I'm not sure one could say much about that. Though I could make a mean argument for a respitory route of exposure as well.James.folsom 21:41, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
