Truncated internalin A and asymptomatic Listeria monocytogenes carriage: in vivo investigation by allelic exchange
Résumé
Allelic exchange of the region coding for the C terminus of InIA between one epidemic (with an 80-kDa InIA) and one asymptomatic (with a 47-kDa InIA) carriage Listeria monocytogenes strain confirmed the need for this region for internalin entry in vitro. Interestingly, restoration of internalin A functionality did not result in full virulence in chicken embryo assays.
