Abstract excerpt
The foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes has the capability to persist on surfaces in food-processing environments, and the organism is resistant to environmental stresses. In this study, a Tn917 insertion mutant of L. monocytogenes 4b G showing reduced biofilm formation and sensitivity to oxidative stress was identified and characterized. The transposon insertion site within the gltB gene was identified by...
