متن کاملExperimental infection of the respiratory tract with Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
M. pneumoniae, a common human respiratory pathogen, has been studied experimentally for years using intranasal inoculation of the golden Syrian hamster. Because of recent evidence outlining the role in pulmonary immune development of particle size and depth of mycoplasma deposition in the hamster lung, we developed an aerosol chamber for the reproducible aerosolization of radiolabeled M. pneumo...
