Emerging and re-emerging bacterial infections are a serious threat to human and animal
health. Extracellular bacteria are free-living, while facultative intracellular bacteria replicate …

The acquisition process of antibiotic resistance in an otherwise susceptible organism is
shaped by the ecology of the species. Unlike other relevant human pathogens, Listeria …

ABSTRACT The Gram-positive pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is able to promote its entry
into a diverse range of mammalian host cells by triggering plasma membrane remodeling …

Many bacteria and some archaea produce the second messenger cyclic diadenosine
monophosphate (c-di-AMP). c-di-AMP controls the uptake of osmolytes in Firmicutes …

Listeria monocytogenes is the etiological agent of listeriosis, a foodborne illness associated
with high hospitalizations and mortality rates. This bacterium can persist in food associated …

Pathogenic bacteria rely on protein phosphorylation to adapt quickly to stress, including that
imposed by the host during infection. Penicillin-binding protein and serine/threonine …

Background Listeriosis is a rare but severe foodborne infectious disease. Perinatal listeriosis
is often associated with septicemia, central nervous system (CNS) infection, and serious …

La listeriosis es una infección infrecuente pero potencialmente grave, causada por Listeria
monocytogenes. La principal vía de transmisión es por el consumo de alimentos …

Listeriolysin O (LLO) is a cholesterol-dependent cytolysin that mediates escape of L.
monocytogenes from phagosomes and enables the bacteria to grow within the host. LLO is …

By modifying the host cell transcription programme, pathogenic bacteria disrupt a wide
range of cellular processes and take control of the host's immune system. Conversely, by …
