Abstract
An in vitro cultivation model for Salmonella having contact to epithel ial cells was developed, which led to an increase in the production of toxic substances. The toxin assay on CHO-K1 cells was used for the de termination of the toxic activities. Salmonella strains cultivated in contact with a monolayer of the intestinal cell line IEC-6 produced co nsiderably more toxin than Salmonella strains cultivated on VERO cells . The toxin formed was heat-labile.
