Example sentences for: monocytogenes
How can you use “monocytogenes” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The goals of this work were twofold: to use cDNA microarrays to characterize the primary response of intestinal epithelial cells to a well-studied intracellular pathogen, L. monocytogenes , and to try to identify host gene-expression programs which are induced by specific stages of the infection by comparing the wild-type expression profile to that of mutants which are either incapable of intracellular growth and thus avirulent, or which cannot initiate actin polymerization in host cell cytoplasm.
To this end, we have examined the global transcriptional response of a human intestinal epithelial cell line, Caco-2, to infection by L. monocytogenes and isogenic mutants which are disrupted in the actA or prfA gene.

Listeria monocytogenes is a ubiquitous, Gram-positive, soil bacterium and facultative intracellular pathogen, which on occasion causes severe food-borne disease in newborns, pregnant women or immunocompromised individuals.
The pathway of infection by L. monocytogenes is initiated by binding of bacterial cell surface molecules (including the internalins InlA, and InlB) to specific receptors on the surface of the intestinal epithelia such as E-cadherin in the case of InlA [ 1, 2, 3], and Met or gC1qR for InlB [ 4, 5].
