PrfA regulation offsets the cost of L isteria virulence outside the host

Virulence traits are essential for pathogen fitness, but whether they affect microbial performance in the environment, where they are not needed, remains experimentally unconfirmed. We investigated this question with the facultative pathogen L isteria monocytogenes and its PrfA virulence regulon. Pr...
