Bacillus subtilis MutS Modulates RecA-Mediated DNA Strand Exchange Between Divergent DNA Sequences.

abstract：:Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) is a foodborne zoonotic pathogen that causes listeriosis with a mortality rate of 20-30%. Serovar 4b and 1/2b isolates account for most of listeriosis outbreaks, however, no listeriosis vaccine is available for either prophylactic or therapeutic use. Here, we developed a triple-virulence-ge...
