Transcriptomic Analysis of Listeria monocytogenes in Response to Bile Under Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditions

Listeria monocytogenes is a gram-positive facultative anaerobic bacterium that causes the foodborne illness listeriosis. The pathogenesis of this bacterium depends on its survival in anaerobic, acidic, and bile conditions encountered throughout the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This transcriptomics s...
