Identification of genetic elements required for Listeria monocytogenes growth under limited nutrient conditions and virulence by a screening of transposon insertion library

Listeria monocytogenes, the causative agent of listeriosis, displays a lifestyle ranging from saprophytes in the soil to pathogenic as a facultative intracellular parasite in host cells. In the current study, a random transposon (Tn) insertion library was constructed in L. monocytogenes strain F2365...
