The virulence regulator PrfA promotes biofilm formation by Listeria monocytogenes.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Aug 2010

Lemon Katherine P, Freitag Nancy E, Kolter Roberto

Abstract excerpt

Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne facultative intracellular pathogen. It is widespread in the environment and has several distinct life-styles. The key transcriptional activator PrfA positively regulates L. monocytogenes virulence genes to mediate the transition from extracellular, flagellum-propelled cell to intracellular pathogen. Here we report the first evidence that PrfA also has a significant positive...
