Molecular Strategies for Adaptation the Survival : Postgenomic Analysis of the Lifestyles of Listeria Monocytogenes in the Environment the the Infected Host

Objective

Pathogenic intracellular bacteria cause many severe forms of disease worldwide with devastating morbidity and high mortality rates. Understanding the basis of their different lifestyles within the infected host cell and in their environmental niches is still in its infancy. The facultative intracellular bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes has emerged as an important model to study the successful survival and adaptation to such different lifestyles. REALIS aims to completely decipher all genes involved in these processes. REALIS also addresses fundamental questions regarding evolutionary relationships between pathogenic and non-pathogenic Listeria. This functional elucidation will have a profound impact on the risk management in agriculture, the food industry, in health care and clinical settings.
