Listeria Monocytogenes Strain Bn3 Responds to Acyl Homoserine Lactone (Ahl) by Expression of Virulence Gene (Hlya) and Gene Responsible for Biofilm (Srta)
Abstract:Listeria monocytogenes, a foodborne pathogen and well known causative agent of listeriosis in humans that is also known to form biofilm on utensils used in the dairy industry is well studied for peptide-based Quorum sensing system (agr QS system). In the present study, we are reporting L. monocytogenes strain BN3 to respond to an acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) by expression of virulence gene (hlyA) and the gene responsible for biofilm formation (srtA) using Real-Time PCR technology. It revealed that in L. monoc… Show more
