Organic Acid Exposure Enhances Virulence in Some Listeria monocytogenes Strains Using the Galleria mellonella Infection Model
Prior research has suggested that the use of organic acids in the food industry may unintentionally enhance pathogenicity of Listeria monocytogenes strain N1-227 and R2-499. This study explored the connection between habituation to L-lactic acid or acetic acid and virulence in L. monocytogenes strai...
