Abstract excerpt
In the food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes, SigB is the central regulator of general stress response (GSR) and it mediates host entry by promoting acid resistance and epithelial cell attachment. However, mutations can readily arise to disable regulators of SigB (Rsb proteins), which suggests a considerable genetic plasticity in the GSR. To further investigate this, we defined the complete genome sequence...
