Generation of oxygen species and virulence of Listeria monocytogenes

R. W. A. Godfrey, Martin S. Wilder

Open full text 11 citations

Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes strains differing in virulence were examined for production of oxygen species. Virulent strains A4413 and JH-H exhibited maximal generation of hydrogen peroxide and superoxide, whereas the avirulent strain 9037-7R was least active. The virulence was confirmed by the in vitro assessment of the intracellular fate of the microorganisms in resident macrophages.
