Characterization of internalin genes in Listeria monocytogenes from food and humans, and their association with the invasion of Caco-2 cells

Su, XudongCao, GuojieZhang, JianminPan, HaijianZhang, DaofengKuang, DaiYang, XiaoweiXu, XuebinShi, XianmingMeng, JianghongInternalins are surface proteins that are utilized by Listeria monocytogenes to facilitate its invasion into human intestinal epithelial cells. The expression of a full-length InlA is one of essential virulence factors for L. monocytogenes to cross the intestinal barrier in order to invade epithelial cells.en-USL. monocytogenesInternalinsinlAPMSC mutationInvasionCharacterization of internalin genes in Listeria monocytogenes from food and humans, and their association with the invasion of Caco-2 cellsArticle
