- Direct ferrous sulfate exposure facilitates the VBNC state formation rather than ferroptosis in Listeria monocytogenes. [Journal Article]Microbiol Res. 2023 Jan 18; 269:127304.MR
- Listeria monocytogenes frequently causes Listeriosis in humans and animals. In present study, we discovered that in the presence of FeSO4, L. monocytogenes became viable but non-culturable (VBNC), and remained virulent to Caenorhabditis elegans. The killing assay indicated that these VBNC cells kept sensitive to tetracycline, differing from dormant cells. Transcriptomic analysis revealed more gen…
