Effect of bovine lactoferricin on enteropathogenic Yersinia adhesion and invasion in HEp-2 cells.

abstract：:Most hospital bacteriologists have divided staphylococci into two groups: Staphylococcus aureus and the coagulase-negative staphylococci of which the novobiocin-resistant varieties are termed S. saprophyticus. The identification of S. aureus has been easy but that of the other staphylococci has provided some difficult...
