Abstract excerpt
The involvement of the cell wall in the acquisition of nisin resistance by Listeria monocytogenes F6861 and its nisin-resistant mutant was investigated. Results indicated that without a cell wall, the acquired nisin resistance of the mutant was lost. Cell surface hydrophobicity was shown to correlate with nisin sensitivity; the wild type strain being more hydrophobic than its mutant. The possible role of S-layer...
