The pathogen Listeria monocytogenes produces exotoxins that disrupt membranes. What is the purpose of the membrane disruption caused by Listeria monocytogenes? Choose one: A. to kill the host cell B. to produce signaling molecules that activate host cell cytokine production C. to increase the permeability of the host's capillaries in order to increase nutrient availability to the bacteria D. to allow the bacteria to escape the phagosome and grow in the cytoplasm of the host
