Accumulation of lipid droplets induced by Listeria monocytogenes in macrophages: implications for survival and evasion of innate immunity.

Listeriosis, caused by Listeria monocytogenes (L.m.), poses a significant public health concern as one of the most severe foodborne diseases.

Lipid droplet accumulation occurs early following Salmonella infection and contributes to intracellular bacterial survival and replication.

Salmonellosis is a public health problem caused by Salmonella sp., a highly adapted facultative intracellular pathogen. After internalization, Salmonella sp.
