Abstract
Growth of Listeria monocytogenes within 72 h after i.v. infection was enhanced in the liver of mice, when sarcoma 180 was inoculated s.c. 5 h before infection. Pretreatment with live BCG prevented such a depression in antibacterial activity. Killed BCG and zymosan prevented depression to some extent.
