Directed evolution and targeted mutagenesis to murinize listeria monocytogenes internalin A for enhanced infectivity in the murine oral infection model

BMC Microbiology, 2010
Background Internalin A (InlA) is a critical virulence factor which mediates the initiation of Listeria monocytogenes infection by the oral route in permissive hosts.

The Majority of Genotypes of the Virulence Gene inlA Are Intact among Natural Watershed Isolates of Listeria monocytogenes from the Central California Coast.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Internalin A is an essential virulence gene involved in the uptake of the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes into host cells. It is intact in clinical strains and often truncated due to Premature Stop Codons (PMSCs) in isolates from processed ...

Listeria monocytogenes internalin B activates junctional endocytosis to accelerate intestinal invasion. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2010
Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) uses InlA to invade the tips of the intestinal villi, a location at which cell extrusion generates a transient defect in epithelial polarity that exposes the receptor for InlA, E-cadherin, on the cell surface.

Sequential Bayesian inference for static parameters in dynamic state space models [PDF]

, 2017
A method for sequential Bayesian inference of the static parameters of a dynamic state space model is proposed. The method is based on the observation that many dynamic state space models have a relatively small number of static parameters (or hyper ...

An efficient PG-INLA algorithm for the Bayesian inference of logistic item response models

Statistical Theory and Related Fields
In this paper, we propose a Bayesian PG-INLA algorithm which is tailored to both one-dimensional and multidimensional 2-PL IRT models. The proposed PG-INLA algorithm utilizes a computationally efficient data augmentation strategy via the Pólya-Gamma ...

Analysis of multilocus sequence typing and virulence characterization of Listeria monocytogenes isolates from Chinese retail ready-to-eat food

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Eighty Listeria monocytogenes isolates were obtained from Chinese retail ready-to-eat (RTE) food and were previously characterized with serotyping and antibiotic susceptibility tests.

Spatio-temporal predictions of COVID-19 test positivity in Uppsala County, Sweden: a comparative approach

Scientific Reports, 2022
Previous spatio-temporal COVID-19 prediction models have focused on the prediction of subsequent number of cases, and have shown varying accuracy and lack of high geographical resolution.

Unveiling the Mutations and Conservation of InlA in Listeria monocytogenes

Microorganisms
Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) is a pathogen that is transmitted through contaminated food and causes the illness known as listeriosis. The virulence factor InlA plays a crucial role in the invasion of L.
