The CAMP reaction between Listeria monocytogenes and Rhodococcus equi was studied by a diffusion assay. Listeria monocytogenes displayed identical cooperative haemolytic effect with supernatant cultures of R. equi or with commercial cholesterol oxidase (COX). This result, even with enzymes of different sources (commercial COX is obtained from Pseudomonas spp.) suggests that this enzyme secreted by R. equi has a crucial role in the synergistic haemolytic (CAMP) reaction with L. monocytogenes. The mechanism of the cooperative lytic process between L. monocytogenes and R. equi may represent a different and novel mechanism reaction, in which the COX may not act as a conventional second-step factor, and a reaction different to the direct interaction with the cholesterol of the erythrocyte membrane may be involved.
