Abstract excerpt
Readily utilizable sugars down-regulate virulence gene expression in Listeria monocytogenes, which has led to the proposal that this regulation may be an aspect of global catabolite regulation (CR). We recently demonstrated that the metabolic enzyme alpha-glucosidase is under CR in L. monocytogenes. Here, we report the cloning and characterization from L. monocytogenes of an apparent ortholog of ccpA, which...
