Amphitrophic <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> : multi-dimensional genomic profiling reveals a third ecological strategy that challenges the virulence-persistence trade-off paradigm
2026-03-23
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> The virulence-persistence trade-off is considered a fundamental organizing principle of Listeria monocytogenes population biology: hypervirulent clonal complexes dominate clinical cases but are rarely found in processing environments, while hypovirulent lineages dominate industrial niches but are underrepresented in severe disease. However, whether this dichotomy operates as an absolute parad...
