Host Parasite Relations In Initiation of Infection: III. Hyperglycemia without Stress in Experimental Infection with L. Monocytogenes.
Year: 1960
Type: article
Abstract: Experimental hyperglycemia and infection with L. monocytogenes, and the effects of somatotsopic hormone and cortisone, were studied. Hamsters, obese mice, and normal mice were used. The results supported the hypothesis that an upset carbohydrate metabolism initiated by stress is the trigger mechanism that makes conditions favourable for proliferation of L. monocytogenes and probably of other glucose fermenting pathogenic agents.
