Abstract excerpt
When studying sensitivity of Proteus mirabilis to bactericide effect of blood serum the resistance to alternative way of the complement activation was found in a number of strains. The population of cells with morphologically determinable changes of the surface structures resistant to bactericide effect of the serum is formed as affected by the blood serum of the culture P. mirabilis. Proteus proteases capable to...
