Abstract

The type strain of differs from wild-type strains in more characteristics than just the previously reported deficiency in hemolytic activity and virulence in the murine infection model. The type strain from the American Type Culture Collection (strain ATCC 15313) produces lecithinase, is hemolytic on rabbit (but not sheep) blood agar, lacks motility, and shows limited cytopathogenic effects on Caco-2 monolayers, whereas the type strain from the Special Culture Collection (strain SLCC 53) is unable to produce lecithinase, is nonhemolytic on rabbit or sheep blood agar, is motile, and shows no cytopathogenic effects on Caco-2 monolayers.
