Role of specific determinants in mannan of Candida albicans serotype A in adherence to human buccal epithelial cells.

abstract：:We have previously reported that a wild strain of Francisella tularensis is much less efficiently killed by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes than is an attenuated strain. In the present study, the killing of the attenuated strain was found to be strictly oxygen dependent. The wild and the attenuated strains both ind...
