Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) is a major human and animal foodborne pathogen. Here we
show that hypervirulent Lm clones, particularly CC1, are strongly associated with dairy …

Infections of the central nervous system are among the most serious infections,, but the
mechanisms by which pathogens access the brain remain poorly understood. The model …

Acinetobacter baumannii is of major clinical importance as the bacterial pathogen often
causes hospital acquired infections, further complicated by the high prevalence of antibiotic …

Intestinal microbiota exerts protective effects against the infection of various bacterial
pathogens, including Listeria monocytogenes, a major foodborne pathogen whose infection …

Summary Some Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) strains harbor a prophage within the comK
gene, which renders it inactive. During Lm infection of macrophage cells, the prophage turns …

Listeria monocytogenes strain 10403S harbors two phage elements in its chromosome; one
produces infective virions and the other tailocins. It was previously demonstrated that …

As multiple biochemical pathways exist in nature for lignin synthesis and degradation, lignin
valorization through biological pathways has attracted much attention. cis, cis-Muconate, a …

We have previously described the existence of membranous nanotubes, bridging adjacent
bacteria, facilitating intercellular trafficking of nutrients, cytoplasmic proteins, and even …

Bacterial pathogens often carry multiple prophages and other phage-derived elements
within their genome, some of which can produce viral particles in response to stress. Listeria …

Microbial pathogenesis is mediated by the expression of virulence genes. However, as
microbes with identical virulence gene content can differ in their pathogenic potential, other …
