The human pathogen Mycoplasma pneumoniac causes primary atypical-cold agglutinin-positive pneumonia. Since alveolar macrophages internalize mycoplasma as part of their immune defense, we studied characteristics of the human macrophage receptor for opsonized and nonopsonized M. pneumoniae. The glass-adhering subpopulation of M.

Sodium polyanethole sulfonate (SPS; trade name, Liquoid) is a constituent in culture media used to grow bacteria from blood samples from patients suspected of bacteremia. SPS prevents the killing of bacteria by innate cellular and humoral factors. We analyzed the
Senescence is a form of cell cycle arrest induced by stress such as DNA damage and oncogenes. However, while arrested, senescent cells secrete a variety of proteins collectively known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which can reinforce the arrest

Sodium polyanetheolesulfonate (SPS), an anticoagulant used in blood culture media, adversely affects the isolation of Neisseria meningitidis. The addition of gelatin appears to counteract this effect. Studies using the radiometric BACTEC system, however, have noted a lower isolation rate of

Levels of plasma fibronectin (Fn) were 63% lower than normal 15 min after the intravenous injection of liquoid (P less than 0.01); 3 h later they were still low but rebounded to 35% above normal (P less than 0.01) by
