title: [Phagocytosis of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by pulmonary neutrophilic granulocytes].
abstract: The elimination of Staphylococcus aureus (S. a.) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. a.) by pulmonary neutrophilic granulocytes was investigated in vitro. The elimination rate of P. a. is appreciably smaller than that of S. a.. The reason for this is apparently a reduced degree of phagocytosis of P. a. in consequence of the slight adherence to the granulocyte membrane. The liberation of oxidants differs only to a negligible degree.
