Raising a Bacterium to the Rank of a Model System: The < em > Listeria < /em > Paradigm

Annu Rev Microbiol. 2023 Sep 15;77:1-22. doi: 10.1146/annurev-micro-110422-112841.ABSTRACTMy scientific career has resulted from key decisions and reorientations, sometimes taken rapidly but not always, guided by discussions or collaborations with amazing individuals from whom I learnt a lot scientifically and humanly. I had never anticipated that I would accomplish so much in what appeared as terra incognita when I started to interrogate the mechanisms underlying the virulence of the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. All this has been possible thanks to a number of talented team members who ultimately became friends.PMID:37713460 | DOI:10.1146/annurev-micro-110422-112841
