Global Transcriptional Response of Three Highly Acid-Tolerant Field Strains of Listeria monocytogenes to HCl Stress
Tolerance to acid is of dual importance for the food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes: acids are used as a preservative, and gastric acid is one of the first defenses within the host.There are considerable differences in the acid tolerance of strains.Here we present the transcriptomic response of acid-tolerant field strains of L.monocytogenes
