News

Although several Listeria strains can cause listeriosis, some are particularly virulent. This is because they secrete a toxin that damages the intestinal microbiota, preventing it from serving as a barrier and promoting infection. The results of this study, carried out by Javier Pizarro-Cerdà's team in the unit led by Pascale Cossart (Institut Pasteur, INSERM, INRA), were published in the journal PNAS on May 2, 2016.
