Transcriptional responses of Listeria monocytogenes to low-temperature stress reveal distinct adaptive mechanisms in the absence of BKD and PrfA activation.

Listeria monocytogenes, a foodborne pathogen capable of growth at refrigeration temperatures, represents a significant public health challenge. Its ability to grow at low temperatures is mediated by incorporation of high levels of branched-chain fatty acids (BCFAs) into its membrane. This adaptation is crucial for maintaining optimal membrane fluidity and function under harsh conditions.

Cultivating the endogenous life cycle of in chicken intestinal organoids.

Coccidiosis, caused by spp., leads to substantial economic losses in the poultry industry globally. These protozoan parasites invade the intestinal epithelium of birds, impairing nutrient absorption, causing diarrhoea and potentially leading to mortality.
