Listeria monocytogenes F2365 carries several authentic mutations potentially leading to truncated gene products, including inlB, and demonstrates atypical phenotypic characteristics.

Abstract excerpt

Searches of the genome annotation of Listeria monocytogenes F2365, an isolate from the 1985 listeriosis epidemic in California, showed that this strain carries 20 authentic mutations resulting in premature stop codons, including a nonsense mutation in inlB. Here we showed that L. monocytogenes F2365 demonstrates atypical virulence-associated characteristics, including significantly (P < 0.05) reduced invasion...
