Abstract excerpt
In this work we identified and characterized a gene cluster containing three internalin genes of Listeria monocytogenes EGD. These genes, termed inlG, inlH and inlE, encode proteins of 490, 548 and 499 amino acids, respectively, which belong to the family of large, cell wall-bound internalins. Th...
