Placental syncytiotrophoblast constitutes a major barrier to vertical transmission of Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria monocytogenes is an important cause of maternal-fetal infections and serves as a model organism to study these important but poorly understood events. L. monocytogenes can infect non-phagocytic cells by two means: direct invasion and cell-to-cell spread. The relative contribution of each me...
