Reticuloendothelial clearance of klebsiella pneumoniae

Abstract EN

A lapin adult and baby experimental model were elected to assess the bacterial RES clearance.

The clearance indicator was Klebsiella pneumonia (5 × 109 (viable cell / ml) / Kg), the inoculation route was intravenous (IV), the clearance time was one hour post an IV injection and the judjment criteria for clearance ability were the remaining viable count of K.

pneumonia in tissue homogenate cultures.

The highest clearing efficiency was that of blood followed by liver, lung and then spleen in babies, while the highest was blood, lungs, spleen, followed by liver in adults.

The mean whole adult clearing efficiency was higher than in baby, comparing K.

pneumonia clearance to E.

coli clearance indicates a lapin E.coli enhanced clearance than K.

pneumonia clearance.
