Abstract excerpt

The characterization of mutants of Listeria monocytogenes with reduced virulence properties is described. Reduction in the amount of the extracellular protein p60 (encoded by the ipa gene) leads to cell filaments with impaired invasiveness. Mutants which cannot synthesize listeriolysin are still...
