Molecular analysis of host cells response against infection of virulent strains Listeria monocytogenes / Maimunah Mustakim , Zuraini Mat Issa and Prof Dr Son Radu

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogenic bacteria causing severe systemic infection in susceptible individuals. This facultative intracellular pathogen infects host tissues using their flagella actin. Listeria monocytogenes propelled from one cell to another through the assembly of the flage...

Cells were stained withalexa fluor 635 phalloidin prior to observation by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to examine cellular changes of the host cells upon infection with the bacteria.
