Listeria monocytogenes cell-to-cell spread in epithelia is heterogeneous and dominated by rare pioneer bacteria

F. E. Ortega, E. F. Koslover, J. A. Theriot

This study shows that L. monocytogenes spreads heterogeneously in epithelial cells, with rare pioneer bacteria driving infection spread and persistence.

Listeria monocytogenes InlP interacts with afadin and facilitates basement membrane crossing

C. Faralla, E. E. Bastounis, F. E. Ortega, S. H. Light, G. Rizzuto, S. Nocadello, W. F. Anderson, J. R. Robbins, J. A. Theriot, A. I. Bakardjiev

This study identifies InlP as a Listeria monocytogenes protein that binds afadin to facilitate transcytosis across epithelial monolayers during placental infection.
