Journal ArticleDOI

Actin filaments and the growth, movement, and spread of the intracellular bacterial parasite, Listeria monocytogenes.

TL;DR: Once inside a host cell, the infecting Listeria and their progeny can spread from cell to cell by remaining intracellular and thus bypass the humoral immune system of the organism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of hemolysin for the intracellular growth of Listeria monocytogenes.

TL;DR: Hemolytic-positive revertants were selected after passage of the hly- mutants through monolayers of J774 cells, and in each case, the hemolytic revertants possessed the 58-kD polypeptide, were capable of intracellular growth in tissue culture monolayer and were virulent for mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

c-di-AMP Secreted by Intracellular Listeria monocytogenes Activates a Host Type I Interferon Response

TL;DR: Cyclic diadenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) represents a putative bacterial secondary signaling molecule that triggers a cytosolic pathway of innate immunity and is predicted to be present in a wide variety of bacteria and archea.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of plasmids and plasmid-associated determinants of Yersinia enterocolitica pathogenesis.

TL;DR: Yersinia enterocolitica isolates harboring a particular species of plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid showed a high degree of lethality for gerbils and caused the detachment of HEp-2 tissue cell monolayers, but invasiveness of HEP-2 cells was shown not to be a plasmids-mediated property.
