Hemolytic phenomenons under the cultivation of Listeria innocua.
It was proved that Listeria innocua is able to hemolyze rabbit erythrocytes in blood agars when Oxoid or Difco nutrient agars are used as basic substrate. After 48 h incubation at 37 degrees C and a further 24 h at 4 degrees C the hemolytic effect was clearly expressed. The hot-cold incubation was inevitable. Unlike the hemolytic effect of L. monocytogenes, the hemolytic phenomenon of L. innocua was not enhanced by the equi-factor.
