Microcalorimetric investigations on Listeria. 1988

Sixty-one Listeria strains--Listeria monocytogenes (35 strains), Listeria ivanovii (8), Listeria innocua (7), Listeria welshimeri (6) and Listeria seeligeri (5)--were tested microcalorimetrically for their heat production upon growth in Columbia broth. Listeria ivanovii and Listeria seeligeri displayed different and quite characteristic thermograms. Listeria welshimeri, Listeria innocua and all but one of the Listeria monocytogenes strains showed similar microcalorimetric curves, which differed considerably from those of Listeria ivanovii and Listeria seeligeri.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008087 Listeria A genus of bacteria which may be found in the feces of animals and man, on vegetation, and in silage. Its species are parasitic on cold-blooded and warm-blooded animals, including man.
D008089 Listeria monocytogenes A species of gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria widely distributed in nature. It has been isolated from sewage, soil, silage, and from feces of healthy animals and man. Infection with this bacterium leads to encephalitis, meningitis, endocarditis, and abortion.
D002151 Calorimetry The measurement of the quantity of heat involved in various processes, such as chemical reactions, changes of state, and formations of solutions, or in the determination of the heat capacities of substances. The fundamental unit of measurement is the joule or the calorie (4.184 joules). (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)
D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.
