Abstract excerpt
Central nervous system infections are amongst the most severe 1,2 , yet the mechanisms by which pathogens access the brain remain poorly understood. The model microorganism Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) is a major foodborne pathogen that causes neurolisteriosis, one of the deadliest central nervous system infections 3,4 .
