Bacteriostatic effect of human milk and bovine colostrum on Escherichia coli: importance of bicarbonate.

abstract：:We have previously determined that complement receptors on human mononuclear phagocytes and complement component C3 in nonimmune serum mediate phagocytosis of the intracellular bacterial pathogen Mycobacterium leprae, the agent of leprosy. We have also determined that C3 fixes selectively to the major surface glycolip...
