Abstract
Repeated intragastric inoculation of Listeria
monocytogenes into BALB/c mice resulted in prolonged bacteraemia
and severe hepatic infection. Bacteria could also be isolated from
the brain tissue of all experimental mice. During the inflammatory
process, chemokine concentrations typically increased at the local
site in comparison to the systemic level. The liver-to-serum ratio
was more pronounced in the case of macrophage inflammatory protein
