Cyclic di-AMP inhibits Listeria monocytogenes thymineless death during infection

Joshua P. Leeming, Omar M. Elkassih, Damilola Oyebode, Joshua John Woodward, Qing Tang

This study shows that cyclic di-AMP inhibits thymineless death in Listeria monocytogenes during infection, revealing a new regulatory mechanism for bacterial survival under thymidine starvation.
