1. To investigate the effect of dietary fat source on host resistance to intracellular pathogens, weanling female C3H/Hen mice were fed one of three experimental diets containing, 20% by weight, lard, soybean oil or 17% menhaden fish oil plus 3% corn oil, After 4 weeks, survival of mice (n = 12/treatment group) injected intraperitoneally with 2 x 10(6) colony forming units of live Listeria monocytogenes was determined, In a second study, bacterial clearance from the liver and spleen at 2, 4 and 7 days postchallenge was determined (n = 8/treatment group),2. We found that the survival of mice fed the diets with soybean oil or menhaden fish oil was significantly lower than those fed lard (P < 0.05), Survival rates were 58% (7/12), 33% (4/12) and 100% (12/12), respectively, for mice fed soybean oil, menhaden fish oil and lard, In the second study, mice fed menhaden fish oil had approximately 1 log(10) greater bacteria in their spleens at day 4 than mice fed lard or soybean oil (P < 0.001), There were no significant treatment differences in the number of bacteria recovered from liver samples,3. In summary, dietary fat source significantly affects murine resistance to Listeria, with diets rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as from fish oil, having the most detrimental effect.
