Identification and disruption of lisRK, a genetic locus encoding a two-component signal transduction system involved in stress tolerance and virulence in Listeria monocytogenes.

abstract：:The tsr gene specifies a methyl-accepting membrane protein involved in chemotaxis to serine and several repellent compounds. We have characterized a special class of tsr mutations designated cheD which alter the signaling properties of the Tsr transducer. Unlike tsr null mutants, cheD strains are generally nonchemotac...
