Is inhibition of Listeria monocytogenes by acetate , benzoate and sorbate : weak acid tolerance influenced by the glutamate decarboxylase system?
The stress-inducible sigma factor sigma B (sigma(B)) was not required for protection against acetate and played only a minor role in tolerating benzoate and sorbate. The glutamate decarboxylase system, which plays an important role in tolerating inorganic acids, played no significant role in the ability of L. monocytogenes to tolerate these weak acids, and neither did the presence of glutamate in the growth medium.
Pathological CTA findings in the acute phase of ischemic stroke do not independently predict a poor outcome at 3 months after acute stroke.
