Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen with a high mortality rate that has also
emerged as a paradigm for intracellular parasitism. We present and compare the genome …

We have used RT-PCR and GFP-mediated fluorescence to analyse the regulation of PrfA-
dependent virulence genes of Listeria monocytogenes during proliferation in mammalian …

Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive intracellular food-borne pathogen capable of
infecting both humans, as well as animals. The pathogen is responsible for causing invasive …

ABSTRACT The PrfA protein of Listeria monocytogenes functions as a key regulatory factor
for the coordinated expression of many virulence genes during bacterial infection of host …

In this study, we examined Listeria monocytogenes isolates from Chinese food sources in an
attempt to gain further insights on the molecular characteristics and virulence potential of this …

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 is a facultative intracellular bacterium that has predilection for
causing central nervous systemic infections in humans and domesticated animals. This …

This paper was presented at the IAMFES 80th Annual Meeting during a symposium
entitled'Listeria monocytogenes: current issues and concerns', held in Atlanta, Georgia …

To dissect the regulatory and structural requirements for Listeria monocytogenes
intracellular growth and cell-to-cell spread, we designed a protocol based on transposon …

Within the group of Listeria sp., only L. monocytogenes is pathogenic for humans and
numerous studies of L. monocytogenes strains have described non‐virulent isolates. In this …
