Abstract

Skalka, B.! Bactericidal and Bacteriolytic ActiTJity of Listeria. Acta vet. Bmo, 61, 1992: 23-28. Sirains of all known species of the genus Listeria exerted bactericidal and bacterioly­ tic effects on Micrococcus luteus and bacteriolytic effects on Micrococcus lylae. The bactericidal effect was tested on living cells and the bacteriolytic effect on heat-killed cells of micrococ:cal strains. The sample of 141 listeria strains examined compri­ sed 80 L. monocytogenes strains, 10 L. ifJantJfJii strains, 45 L. innocua strains, 2 strains each of L. seeligeri and L. gray; and 1 strain each of L. welshimeri and L. murray;. No effect was observed on the other micrococcal species, namely M. roseus, M. kristinae, M. sedentarius, M. TJarians and M. nishinomiyaensis. The bactericidal and bacte­ riolytic activity observed iIi the study can be included in the characteristic pro­ perties of the genus Listeria.
