Proteomic data of Listeria monocytogenes

Listeria monocytogenes is an important food-borne pathogen that is responsible for contamination of a variety of food products. It causes listeriosis which is one of the most severe and serious foodborne diseases, whose main severe clinical forms include septicaemia, meningitis, and mateoneonatal infections. Also because of its ability to adhere to industrials' surfaces, it is difficult for them to come up against this danger. Although there are researches in L. monocytogenes proteome, most of them are based on the study of a single strain, yet little is known about the proteome of more of the microbe's strains. By studying the proteome of the microorganism with state-of-the-art mass spectrometry technology in terms of proteomics, we will be able to have an overall picture of the pathogenicity of the bacterium, as this is largely based on its ability to adapt to certain environments and to project its toxicity in them. To address that we provide a dataset of 2227 different proteins from 4 strains of L. monocytogenes, grouped by their molecular function and their biological process. The identified proteins confirm the complex molecular mechanisms of the bacterium.
