Listeria monocytogenes is an opportunistic food-borne pathogen responsible for listeriosis,
a disease associated with high mortality rates. L. monocytogenes causes invasive …

In this article, we highlight novel components of foodborne pathogens that influence their
response, physiology, adaptation, and survival in the face of diverse stresses, and …

One of the currently most relevant resistance mechanisms in Enterobacteriaceae is the
production of enzymes that lead to modern expanded-spectrum cephalosporin and even …

Listeria monocytogenes is frequently found in foods and processing facilities, where it can
persist, creating concerns for the food industry. Its ability to survive under a wide range of …

Listeria adhesion protein (LAP) is a secreted acetaldehyde alcohol dehydrogenase (AdhE)
that anchors to an unknown molecule on the Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) surface, which is …

Background While increasing data on bacterial evolution in controlled environments are
available, our understanding of bacterial genome evolution in natural environments is …

Listeria monocytogenes is a human pathogen that has the ability to cause listeriosis, a
disease with possible fatal outcomes. The typical route of infection is ingestion of the …

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 …

Streptolysin S (SLS)-like virulence factors from clinically relevant Gram-positive pathogens
have been proposed to behave as potent cytotoxins, playing key roles in tissue infection …
