Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes NCTC 7973 and this same strain deposited as ATCC 35152 contain two phenotypes: hemolytic virulent colonies and nonvirulent colonies that show no zones of hemolysis when streaked on heart infusion agar containing 5% rabbit blood. Results of examinations of these virulent and nonvirulent strains by investigators at the Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, Ga., the Pasteur Institute, Paris, France, and the University of Würzburg, Federal Republic of Germany, support the conclusion that the avirulent strain is a nonhemolytic mutant of the virulent strain and that hemolysin is a virulence factor for L. monocytogenes.
