Abstract: | Recent RNA interference screens that were performed at a genome-wide level have identified host factors that are important for the growth of Listeria monocytogenes in cultured cells from the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. The screens identified genes that are involved in phagocytosis but did not detect genes known to be involved in immune signaling pathways. These studies provide a foundation for the identification of host factors and virulence mechanisms. |
