  19. A prl mutation in SecY suppresses secretion and virulence defects of Listeria monocytogenes secA2 mutants.

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The bulk of bacterial protein secretion occurs through the conserved SecY translocation channel that is powered by SecA-dependent ATP-hydrolysis. Many Gram-positive bacteria including the human pathogen Listeria monocytogenes, possess an additional non-essential specialized ATPase, SecA2. SecA2-dependent secretion is required for normal cell morphology and virulence in L. monocytogenes, however the mechanism of export via this pathway is poorly understood. L.

  20. Two Novel Membrane Proteins TcpD and TcpE Are Essential for Conjugative Transfer of pCW3 in Clostridium perfringens

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The anaerobic pathogen Clostridium perfringens encodes either toxin genes or antibiotic resistance determinants on a unique family of conjugative plasmids that have a novel conjugation region, the tcp locus. Studies on the paradigm conjugative plasmid from C. perfringens, the 47-kb tetracycline resistance plasmid pCW3, have identified several tcp-encoded proteins that are involved in conjugative transfer and form part of the transfer apparatus.

  23. Comparison of Desiccation Tolerance among Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella enterica, and Cronobacter sakazakii in Powdered Infant Formula

    • Journal of Food Protection

    • Koseki, Shigenobu et al. Bacterial pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella enterica, and Cronobacter sakazakii have demonstrated long-term survival in/on dry or low–water activity (aw) foods. However, there have been few comparative studies on the desiccation tolerance among these bacterial pathogens separately in a same food matrix.
