Abstract:Listeria monocytogenes (LM) is one of
the most
invasive foodborne pathogens that cause listeriosis, making it imperative
to explore novel inhibiting strategies for alleviating its infection.
The adhesion and invasion of LM within host cells
are partly orchestrated by an invasin protein internalin A (InlA),
which facilitates bacterial passage by interacting with the host cell
E-cadherin (E-Cad). Hence, in this work, we proposed an aptamer blocking
strategy by binding to the region on InlA that directly mediated… Show more
