Thesis
Bah, U. Determination of virulence of L. monocytogenes strains of environmental and food sources using an invertebrate model. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2682695

The virulence potential of 9 L. monocytogenes strains isolated from food products at different stages of the fresh produce supply chain and a food processing facility was determined using G. mellonella. Strains were used to infect G. mellonella larva... Read More about Determination of virulence of L. monocytogenes strains of environmental and food sources using an invertebrate model.
