Listeria monocytogenes Genome sequencing and assembly

We observed changes in gene expression between LM BFs and planktonic bacteria using transcriptomics to help characterize the regulatory mechanisms underpinning BF formation. GO functional enrichment and KEGG pathway analyses demonstrated significant changes in metabolism, biosynthesis, transport activity, flagella assembly, microbal metabolism in different environments, bacterial chemotaxis, bacterial secretion, QS, and two-component systems. These data provide valuable insights on the identification of BF inhibitors that could reduce LM infection risks in humans and animals.
