Isolation, purification and partial characterization of a new extracellular cytotoxin from a virulent clinical strain of Listeria monocytogenes serotype 4b, and an avirulent, nonhemolytic variant ATCC 15313 serotype 1/2a

1991-01-01

Abstract excerpt

A number of pathologies of listeric infections in man remain unexplained. The objective of this study was to investigate whether strains of Listeria monocytogenes synthesize additional toxin(s), which may be implicated in these unexplained pathologies. Results showed that both virulent (4b) and avirulent (ATCC 15313) strains of L. monocytogenes synthesize a previously unrecognized extracellular cytotoxin of Mr 34,...
