abstract：:Listeria monocytogenes cells are ingested by protozoa such as Acanthamoeba sp. or Tetrahymena pyriformis. However, they are not killed, but survive within the protozoa and may multiply intracellularly. The protozoa are lysed within about 8 days, releasing viable L. monocytogenes. No co-existence was observed between L...
