Abstract excerpt

L. monocytogenes serovar 1/2a NCTC 7973 was passaged through rabbits and the severity of infection at each passage was determined by counting viable bacteria from infested organs and recording the time of death. A comparative evaluation of the levels of hemolysin produced in vitro by the original...
