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

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

We previously reported an inhibitory effect on Mycobacterium avium-M. intracellulare (MAI) when blood collected and processed with the Isolator system was placed in BACTEC 12B bottles for radiometric monitoring. We sought to identify the specific component(s) of the Isolator lysis-anticoagulant
