Comparison of the in vitro bactericidal activity of human serum and leukocytes against bacteroides fragilis and Fusobacterium mortiferum in aerobic and anaerobic environments

A B Bjornson et al. Infect Immun. 1976 Sep.

Abstract

In aerobic and anaerobic in vitro environments, Fusobacterium mortiferum was killed by human leukocytes or serum alone or in combination; clinical isolates of Bacteroides fragilis were killed only by leukocytes in the presence of serum.
