Adherence of Staphylococcus aureus to rabbit corneal epithelial cells
A. P. Johnson, B. M. Wool and M. K. Johnson
A system for the in vitro study of adherence of Staphylococcus aureus to
rabbit corneal epithelial cells has been developed. Bacteria isolated from
normal eyes showed the same adherence capacity, on the average, as bacteria
from infected eyes. Adherence was not inhibited by preincubation of
bacteria with bovine serum albumin, D-mannose, or N-acetyglucosamine.
