50°C to 70°C
B
0°C to 10°C
C
4°C to 37°C
D
37°C to 50°C
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that Listeria monocytogenes is a type of bacteria that can grow in a range of temperatures, which is important for its survival and pathogenicity.
Recognize that Listeria monocytogenes is a psychrotrophic bacterium, meaning it can grow at low temperatures, often found in refrigerated foods.
Identify the typical temperature range for psychrotrophic bacteria, which is generally from around 0°C to 30°C, but Listeria can grow up to 37°C.
Consider the options given: 50°C to 70°C, 0°C to 10°C, 4°C to 37°C, and 37°C to 50°C. Eliminate options that are outside the known growth range for Listeria.
Select the temperature range 4°C to 37°C as it encompasses the known growth range for Listeria monocytogenes, allowing it to thrive in both refrigerated and body temperatures.
