Characterization of Listeria monocytogenes biofilm formation: A molecular approach by target gene knockout and mariner-based transposon mutagenesis
The food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes can attach to environmental surfaces and form biofilms which can be a source of food contamination, yet little is known about the molecular mechanisms of its biofilm development. The overall objective of this study was to identify the genetic requiremen...
