Volatile Fatty Acid Requirement of a Strain of Listeria monocytogenes

Volatile Fatty Acid Requirement of a Strain of Listeria Monocytogenes.

Larson, A. D. (Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge), L. V. Hattier, and C. S. McCleskey. Volatile fatty acid requirement of a strain of Listeria monocytogenes. J. Bacteriol. 89:819-824. 1965.-Listeria monocytogenes strain 2 requires either isobutyric or 2-methylbutyric acid for growth. Elucidation of this requirement began with characterization of the growth-enhancing substance in culture f...

DETERMINATION OF DOMINANT SEROVARS OF LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES

Serovars of Lisreria l1Iollocyrogelles were determined. Sera of aborted samples (200) were collected from different hospitals in Tehran and were tested serologically by immunofluorescent antibody methods (IF tests). 137 positive sera were identified. Positive sera were tested against 12 serovars of Listeria l1Iollocytogelles separately. Titers of antibody in patients' sera for all serovars ...

Lipoteichoic acid from Listeria monocytogenes.

A lipoteichoic acid (LTA) was extracted from Listeria monocytogenes (serotype 1) by phenol-water partition and isolated by gel-filtration chromatography. The LTA exhibited amphiphilic properties by changes in gel-filtration mobility in the presence of detergent buffers and after mild base hydrolysis. In a hemagglutination assay, Listeria LTA bound antibody prepared against a known LTA from Stre...

Listeria monocytogenes - Strain Diversity Demonstrated by Genotyping

The Listeria monocytogenes strain 10403S BioCyc database

Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen of humans and other animals. The striking ability to survive several stresses usually used for food preservation makes L. monocytogenes one of the biggest concerns to the food industry, while the high mortality of listeriosis in specific groups of humans makes it a great concern for public health. Previous studies have shown that a regulatory netw...
