Listeria monocytogenes virulence is controlled by PrfA, an allosterically regulated transcription factor. PrfA is essential for activation of the listerial virulence programme during infection but is equally important for maximizing the pathogen’s transmission fitness by preventing the cost of unneeded virulence factors during saprophytic life outside the host. This presentation will review how L.
