Abstract:
:A previously unreported anti-bacterial activity against Escherichia coli has been found in porcine and bovine sera, but not in human or chicken sera. The activity is not affected by heat inactivation of the complement system, and is bacteriostatic rather than bactericidal. Growth inhibition is reversible by addition of norepinephrine.
