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

Abstract Background Internalins 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...
