Fulminant prosthetic valve endocarditis caused by Listeria monocytogenes.
1010-7940/$ — see front matter # 2009 European Association for Cardio-Thoracic doi:10.1016/j.ejcts.2009.06.036 Listerial endocarditis is uncommon, but potentially destructive. Fifteen years after mitral valve replacement, a 67-year-old male without co-morbidities developed hyperacute shock (white blood cell count = 38.750 ml ) following a mildly febrile period with normal echocardiograms. Trans...
متن کاملDETERMINATION OF DOMINANT SEROVARS OF LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES
Serovars of Lisreria l1Iollocyrogelles were determined. Sera of aborted samples (200) were collected from different hospitals in Tehran and were tested serologically by immunofluorescent antibody methods (IF tests). 137 positive sera were identified. Positive sera were tested against 12 serovars of Listeria l1Iollocytogelles separately. Titers of antibody in patients' sera for all serovars ...

متن کاملListeria monocytogenes pathogenicity
Listeriolysin O (LLO) and ActA are essential virulence determinants for Listeria monocytogenes pathogenesis. Transcription of actA and hly , encoding LLO, is regulated by PrfA and increases dramatically during intracellular infection. The 5 ¢ untranslated regions (5 ¢ UTRs) of actA and prfA have been shown to upregulate expression of their respective gene products. Here, we demonstrate that the...
