Enzymatic degradation of H2O2 by Leptospira.

abstract：:Previous studies have noted that the prevalence of certain gonococcal colony types is influenced by the physiological state of the human host. Consequently eight different gonococcal strains were passed on clear typing medium, and opaque (Op) and transparent (Tr) variants of heavily pilated (P++) bacteria were selecte...
