The link of phagocytosisand growth of Staphylococcus aureus in blood plasma in vitro with energy metabolism of bacteria
The relation of the Staphylococcus aureus growth with blood plasma aminotransferase activity was stuied in vitro. It was show that adding alanine and aspartate to blood plasma inhibits the growth of staphylococcus and simultaneous- ly stimulates phagocytosis of its cells. These effects may be explain by changes in concentration of products amino- transferase reactions.
