title: Influence by staphylococcal lipase on granulocyte metabolism and killing of bacteria.
abstract: Lipase purified from Staphylococcus aureus interferes with granulocyte phagocytic killing of S. aureus but not with killing of Streptococcus pneumoniae or Streptococcus agalactiae group B. Lipase treatment of granulocytes did not influence bacterial adherence to the cells.
