Listeria monocytogenes is a facultative intracellular gram-positive bacterium responsible for
severe opportunistic infections in humans and animals. We had previously identified a gene …

We have identified a novel gene, gtcA, involved in the decoration of cell wall teichoic acid of
Listeria monocytogenes serotype 4b with galactose and glucose. Insertional inactivation of …

The foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) is a highly heterogeneous species
and currently comprises of 4 evolutionarily distinct lineages. Here, we characterize isolates …

Listeria monocytogenes serotype 4b strains account for about 40% of sporadic cases and
many epidemics of listeriosis. Mutations in a chromosomal locus resulted in loss of reactivity …

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne Gram-positive bacterial pathogen, and many of its
virulence factors are either secreted proteins or proteins covalently or noncovalently …

Wall teichoic acid (WTA) comprises a class of glycopolymers covalently attached to the
peptidoglycan of gram positive bacteria. In Listeria monocytogenes, mutations that prevent …

The cell wall of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm), a major intracellular foodborne bacterial
pathogen, comprises a thick peptidoglycan layer that serves as a scaffold for glycopolymers …

Listeria monocytogenes is a gram-positive, food-borne microorganism responsible for
invasive infections with a high overall mortality. L. monocytogenes is among the very few …

Listeria monocytogenes is an intracellular bacterial pathogen that elicits a strong cellular
immune response following infection and therefore has potential use as a vaccine vector …

Listeria monocytogenes serotype 4b has been implicated in numerous food-borne
epidemics and in a substantial fraction of sporadic listeriosis. A unique lineage of the …
