Growth of Listeria monocytogenes at 4 degrees C significantly increased its virulence for mice by the intravenous route and the effect was dose-dependent. Virulence was apparent only at a dose of about or above 10(4) viable listerias. At slightly lower doses of about 10(3), no such effect was observed. Growth at 4 degrees C did not increase the virulence of the strains for mice by oral-gastric challenge when given at doses of approximately 10(10).
单核细胞增生李斯特菌在4℃下生长显著增强了其经静脉途径对小鼠的毒力,且这种效应呈剂量依赖性。仅在约10⁴个活李斯特菌或更高剂量时毒力才明显。在略低剂量约10³时,未观察到这种效应。当以约10¹⁰的剂量经口胃途径给予时,4℃下生长并未增加菌株对小鼠的毒力。
