This study shows that Listeria monocytogenes evades MAIT cells by lacking riboflavin biosynthesis, and engineered strains that produce riboflavin activate MAIT cells, offering therapeutic potential against infections and cancer.

This study shows phosphorylation at specific residues on stressosome proteins dictates assembly, activation, and function in Listeria monocytogenes, with implications for virulence and antimicrobial targets.
