Listeria Breaches the Placenta Using Enzyme Phosphoinositide-3 Kinase Following Activation by Internalin Proteins

A gut bacterium called Listeria (Listeria monocytogenes), which is often found in soft cheese, is known to present a risk to pregnant women by using distinct tactics to breach the intestine and the placenta, using an enzyme phosphoinositide-3 kinase following activation by internalin proteins, according to researchers at Pasteur Institute in France. Listeria has two proteins, called internalins A and B, that helps it cross mucosal tissue barriers. Both proteins ...
