Abstract excerpt
Listeria monocytogenes is a human pathogen invading nonphagocytic host cells, replicating within their cytosol, and spreading directly from cell to cell.

DivIVA aids in the secretion of peptidoglycan-degrading autolysins in a process that requires the accessory secretion ATPase SecA2, thereby promoting daughter...
