Involvement of SecA2 in adhesion, invasion, and translocation in L. monocytogenes. Analysis of involvement of SecA2 in L. monocytogenes (a) adhesion and invasion, and (b) translocation through paracellular route in Caco-2 cell monolayers in trans-well assay using WT strain F4244, secA2 mutant (ΔsecA2) and secA2 complemented strain (secA2+). Data are average of at least three independent experiments performed in triplicate. Bars marked with different letters (a, b, c) are significantly different at P < 0.05.
