Virulence factors that modulate the cell biology of Listeria infection and the host response

Adv Immunol. 2012:113:19-32. doi: 10.1016/B978-0-12-394590-7.00007-5.

Abstract

The Gram-positive bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes has become one of the best studied models in infection biology. This review will update our knowledge of Listeria virulence factors and highlight their role during the Listeria infection process.
