Journal ArticleDOI

Listeria pathogenesis and molecular virulence determinants.

TL;DR: The molecular determinants of Listeria virulence and their mechanism of action are described and the current knowledge on the pathophysiology of listeriosis and the cell biology and host cell responses to Listersia infection is summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular determinants of Listeria monocytogenes pathogenesis

TL;DR: The cell biology of L. monocytogenes infection has been characterized at the morphological level and is summarized as follows: Shortly thereafter, bacteria escape from host vacuoles and enter the cytoplasm, where rapid growth ensues.
Journal ArticleDOI

A novel bacterial virulence gene in Listeria monocytogenes required for host cell microfilament interaction with homology to the proline-rich region of vinculin.

TL;DR: Within the cytoplasm of the infected cells, the mutant strain grew as microcolonies, was unable to accumulate actin following escape from the phagocytic compartment and was incapable of infecting adjacent cells, demonstrating that the capacity to move intracellularly and spread intercellularly is a key determinant of L.monocytogenes virulence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Visualization of tumors and metastases in live animals with bacteria and vaccinia virus encoding light-emitting proteins

TL;DR: Findings indicate that neither auxotrophic mutations, nor vaccinia virus deficient for the thymidine kinase gene, nor anaerobic growth conditions were required for tumor specificity and intratumoral replication.
