Identification et caractérisation de nouveaux facteurs de virulence de Listeria monocytogenes

Listeria phylogeny

 

P. Cossart. (2011). PNAS 108:49, 19484-19491

Phylogeny of the eight Listeria species. The tree depicted in continuous lines is based on nucleotide variation at 100 core genes, according to den Bakker et al. (21). The three major L. monocytogeneslineages are indicated with Roman numerals. Dotted lines indicate that the branching order and distance leading to L. rocourtiae and L. grayi, the two most distant species, are currently undefined based on this dataset (generated by S. Brisse).
