Translation control by altered start codon usage as a means of modulating the general stress response and virulence in Listeria monocytogenes.

The paper investigates how altered start codon usage modulates the general stress response and virulence in Listeria monocytogenes by analyzing mutations in regulatory genes and genome-wide start codon usage patterns.

In vitro evolution of Listeria monocytogenes reveals selective pressure for loss of SigB and AgrA function at different incubation temperatures.

This study shows that Listeria monocytogenes evolves to lose SigB or Agr function under different temperatures, increasing competitive fitness in specific conditions.
