The bacterial etiological agent of listeriosis,  Listeria monocytogenes , is an opportunistic intracellular foodborne pathogen. The infection cycle of  L. monocytogenes  is well-characterized and involves several key virulence factors, including internalins A and B. While 35 genes encoding internalins have been identified in  L. monocytogenes , less than half of them have been characterized as yet. Focusing on  lmo2026 , it was shown this gene encodes a class I internalin, InlL, exhibiting domains potentially involved in adhesion. Following a functional genetic approach, InlL was demonstrated to be involved in initial bacterial adhesion as well as sessile development in  L. monocytogenes . In addition, InlL enables binding to mucin of type 2, i.e., the main secreted mucin making up the mucus layer, rather than to surface-located mucin of type 1. InlL thus appears as a new molecular determinant contributing to the colonization ability of  L. monocytogenes .
