Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes is a widespread gram- positive facultative intracellular food-borne bacterium associated in humans with listeriosis.The capability to adapt to low pH represent a pivotal step in the infection strategy. In the present reserch, to add further information on the mechanism involved in the increased pathogenicity of acid tolerant bacteria, we investigated the fate of bacteria,pre-exposed to mild acidic conditions, in murine and human macrophages.
