Background Listeria consists of both pathogenic and non-pathogenic species. Reports of
similarities between the genomic content between some pathogenic and non-pathogenic …

This review describes the Listeria monocytogenes genome sequences available today and
their comparison with that of Listeria innocua and Listeria welshimeri by highlighting their …

Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne bacterial pathogen that causes a wide spectrum of
diseases, such as meningitis, septicemia, abortion, and gastroenteritis, in humans and …

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen of humans and animals. The majority of
human listeriosis cases are caused by strains of lineages I and II, while lineage III strains are …

Abstract Background The bacterial genus Listeria contains pathogenic and non-pathogenic
species, including the pathogens L. monocytogenes and L. ivanovii, both of which carry …

Listeria monocytogenes is a significant foodborne pathogen causing severe systemic
infections in humans with high mortality rates. The objectives of this work were to establish a …

Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne, opportunistic, bacterial pathogen causing a wide
spectrum of diseases, including meningitis, septicemia, abortion, and gastroenteritis, in …

The prfA-virulence gene cluster (p VGC) is the main pathogenicity island in Listeria
monocytogenes, comprising the prfA, plcA, hly, mpl, actA, and plcB genes. In this study, the p …

For nearly 3 decades, listeriologists and immunologists have used mainly three strains of the
same serovar (1/2a) to analyze the virulence of the bacterial pathogen Listeria …

Listeria monocytogenes causes listeriosis, a disease characterized by a high mortality rate
(up to 30%). Since the pathogen is highly tolerant to changing conditions (high and low …
