Variable Carbon Source Utilization, Stress Resistance, and Virulence Profiles Among Listeria monocytogenes Strains Responsible for Listeriosis Outbreaks in Switzerland

Variable Carbon Source Utilization, Stress Resistance, and Virulence Profiles Among Listeria monocytogenes Strains Responsible for Listeriosis Outbreaks in Switzerland

A combination of phenotype microarrays, targeted stress resistance and virulence assays and comparative genome analysis was used to compare a set of Listeria monocytogenes strains including those involved in previous Swiss foodborne listeriosis outbreaks. Despite being highly syntenic in gene conten...
