Binding of Bacterial Endotoxin to Murine Spleen

The early events in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced B-cell activation were investigated by studying the binding of "4C-labeled LPS to murine lymphocytes in vitro. In these studies we utilized intrinsically labeled "IC-labeled LPS from Salmonella Minnesota or the "4C-labeled glycolipid derived from the Re mutant ofS. Minnesota (R595). Bone marrow-derived (B) lymphocytes bound more LPS than did ...

Bacterial Colony Counts During Vaginal Surgery

OBJECTIVE To describe the bacterial types and colony counts present before and during vaginal surgery. METHODS A descriptive study was undertaken of patients undergoing vaginal hysterectomy with or without reconstructive pelvic surgery. Aerobic and anaerobic bacterial cultures were obtained immediately before and throughout the surgical cases at preselected time intervals. Standard antimicrob...

Significance of bacterial and white cell counts in midstream urines.

The results of cultures carried out on urine collected by a midstream technique (MSU) have been compared with the results of cultures of urine collected by suprapubic bladder aspiration (SPA) in the same 903 patients. Comparisons indicate that when there are more than 100 x 10(6)/l (100 000/ml) Gram-negative bacteria in the midstream urine this finding is confirmed by suprapubic aspiration in 9...
