Subclinical infection of BALB/c mice with virulent Listeria monocytogenes leads to the
generation of Listeria-specific T-cell populations required for the expression of protective …

We developed a simple and highly effective procedure for stabilizing the haemolytic activity
of listeriolysin O (LLO) from Listeria monocytogenes after immunoaffinity purification. The …

The effect of environmental parameters on secretion, stability and activity of Listeria
monocytogenes listeriolysin O (LLO) was examined. Increasing the initial glucose …

Abstract L. monocytogenes serovar 1/2a NCTC 7973 was passaged through rabbits and the
severity of infection at each passage was determined by counting viable bacteria from …

Abstract The Gram-positive bacterium Listeria monocytogenes is an ubiquitous, intracellular
pathogen which has been causative organism in several outbreaks of foodborne disease …
