Abstract:
On the basis of synergistic haemolysis of Listeria ivanovii and Rhodococcus equi, we suspected CAMP positiveness of R. equi and complete CAMP negativeness of L. ivanovii and confirmed that the latter, showing a double-zone haemolysis like Staphylococcus aureus, could produce the same phenomenon in the CAMP test if used instead of staphylococci. This functional similarity of L. ivanovii and CAMP Staphylococcus could be used as an additional diagnostic test for L. ivanovii.
