The influence of bacterial species on pulmonary resistance to infection in mice subjected to hypoxia, cold stress, and ethanolic intoxication.

albus was used for infection. The results are compared with previous studies (Green and Kass, 1964b) obtained with a coagulase positive strain of Staphyloccus aureus (FDA phage type The infective aerosol was obtained by culturing the organisms for 16 hr. in a shaker water bath at 37°, centrifuging an aliquot of the culture, and resuspending the pellet in phosphate buffer pH 7-4 to give a final concentration of 2-5 x 109 bacteria per ml. in the nebulizer.
