Abstract excerpt
Two transposon-insertional mutants of Listeria monocytogenes showing smaller viable surface-attached cell populations after disinfection with N,N-didecyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride were identified. In both mutants, transposon Tn917-lac was found to be inserted into the same gene, lmo1462, which is homologous to the essential Escherichia coli era gene. Both L. monocytogenes lmo1462-disrupted mutants displayed...
