Identification of genes induced in Listeria monocytogenes during growth and attachment to cut cabbage, using differential display.

Abstract excerpt

The food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is a ubiquitous soil bacterium with the potential to contaminate fresh produce during cultivation and postharvest processing. In order to identify potential mechanisms by which L. monocytogenes may successfully attach to and colonize fresh produce, gene expression in L. monocytogenes cells inoculated onto fresh-cut cabbage was compared to gene expression in cells...
