Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive pathogen that causes the severe foodborne disease listeriosis. Following oral infection of the host, L. monocytogenes disseminates from the gastrointestinal tract to peripheral organs, including the gallbladder, where it replicates to high densities. The gallbladder then becomes the primary bacterial reservoir and source of fecally excreted bacteria. De...
