A Postgenomic Appraisal of Osmotolerance in Listeria monocytogenes

Abstract
A characteristic feature of the intracellular food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is its ability to survive and even proliferate under a variety of hostile environmental conditions, particularly elevated osmolarity (10% NaCl) ([47][1]) and reduced temperature (−0.1°C) ([75][2]). Early
