Listeria monocytogenes is increasingly recognised as a cause of prosthetic joint infection. These infections tend to be more insidious and indolent in contrast to similar infections with Staphylococcus aureus. They can occur in patients who are immunocompromised due to malignancy or other illness or

## Abstract Solubilization of bacterial surface (cell wall and membraneβassociated) proteins for 2βDE is challenging, particularly in the case of Gramβpositive bacteria. This is primarily due to strong protein association with the cell wall peptidoglycan and protein hydrophobicity. We solubilized s
The N-terminal region of the Listeria monocytogenes ActA protein, in conjunction with host cell factors, is sufficient for actin polymerization at the bacterial surface. Previous data suggested that ActA could protect barbed ends from capping proteins. We tested this hypothesis by actin polymerizati
