Divergent evolution of the activity and regulation of the glutamate decarboxylase systems in listeria monocytogenes egd-e and 10403s: roles in virulence and acid tolerance
Feehily, Conor; Finnerty, Aiden; Casey, Pat G.; Hill, Colin; Gahan, Cormac G. M.; O’Byrne, Conor P.; Karatzas, Kimon-Andreas G. (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2014-11-11)The glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) system has been shown to be important for the survival of Listeria monocytogenes in low pH environments. The bacterium can use this faculty to maintain pH homeostasis under acidic conditions. ... -
Elucidation of the role of the glutamate decarboxylase system and the gamma-aminobutyric acid shunt pathway in the stress response of Listeria monocytogenes
Feehily, Conor (2014-07-22)The foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is the causative agent of listeriosis in humans and other animals. This disease can have a fatality rate of up to 30% in infected patients and leads to spontaneous abortion in ... -
Listeria monocytogenes has a functional gamma-aminobutyrate (GABA) shunt: Role in acid tolerance and succinate biosynthesis.
Feehily, Conor; O¿Byrne, Conor P.; Karatzas, Kimon Andreas G. (American Society for Microbiology, 2013)Listeria monocytogenes, the causative agent of human listeriosis, is known for its ability to withstand severe environmental stresses. The glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) system is one of the principal systems utilized by ...
