Evaluation of microdilution trays (sensititre) for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Bacteroides fragilis.

abstract：:The endogenous danger signal bradykinin was recently found implicated in the development of immunity against parasites via dendritic cells. We here report an essential role of the B(2) (B(2)R) bradykinin receptor in the early immune response against Listeria infection. Mice deficient in B(2)R (B(2)R(-/-) mice) were sh...
