On the role of cell chaining in the attenuation of a Listeria monocytogenes divIVA mutant
Sabrina Wamp, Gudrun Holland, Jeanine Rismondo, Sven Halbedel
This study investigates how cell chaining in a Listeria monocytogenes divIVA mutant affects virulence, finding that it is not the morphology itself but PrfA- and SecA2-dependent processes that are primarily responsible for attenuation.
