Listeria monocytogenes-Associated Biliary Tract Infections
At present, little is known regarding Listeria monocytogenes-associated biliary tract infection, a rare form of listeriosis. In this article, we will study 12 culture-proven cases reported to the French National Reference Center for Listeria from 1996 to 2013 and review the 8 previously published cases. Twenty cases were studied: 17 cholecystitis, 2 cholangitis, and 1 biliary cyst infection. Ha...
متن کاملVirulence testing of Listeria monocytogenes.
A major problem in understanding foodborne listeriosis from both the basic science and regulatory perspectives revolves around the role played by virulence factors of Listeria monocytogenes and how these interact with host susceptibility to result in the observed incidence of disease. From a mechanistic perspective, this problem has been well investigated, and many virulence components of L. mo...

متن کاملGenetic characterization of plasmid-associated triphenylmethane reductase in Listeria monocytogenes.
The enzyme triphenylmethane reductase (TMR) reduces toxic triphenylmethane dyes into colorless, nontoxic derivatives, and TMR-producing microorganisms have been proposed as bioremediation tools. Analysis of the genome of Listeria monocytogenes H7858 (1998-1999 hot dog outbreak) revealed that the plasmid (pLM80) of this strain harboring a gene cassette (bcrABC) conferring resistance to benzalkon...
متن کاملIn Vivo Transcriptional Profiling of Listeria monocytogenes and Mutagenesis Identify New Virulence Factors Involved in Infection
Listeria monocytogenes is a human intracellular pathogen able to colonize host tissues after ingestion of contaminated food, causing severe invasive infections. In order to gain a better understanding of the nature of host-pathogen interactions, we studied the L. monocytogenes genome expression during mouse infection. In the spleen of infected mice, approximately 20% of the Listeria genome is d...
