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 …

Background Listeria (L.) monocytogenes strains show a high diversity regarding stress
tolerance and virulence potential. Genome studies have mainly focused on specific …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Background Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen that causes infections with a
high-mortality rate and has served as an invaluable model for intracellular parasitism. Here …

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 gram-positive, food-borne pathogen that causes disease in
both humans and animals. There are three major genetic lineages of L. monocytogenes and …

Listeria monocytogenes is a model organism for cellular microbiology and host–pathogen
interaction studies and an important food-borne pathogen widespread in the environment …

Listeria monocytogenes is a serious food-borne pathogen that can cause invasive disease
in humans and other animals and has been the leading cause of food recalls due to …
