title: Recovery of airborne streptococcal L-forms at various relative humidities.
abstract: Aerosolized group A streptococcal L-forms survived better at low than at high relative humidities, and mid-range humidities were the most lethal. Colonial morphology of cells surviving aerosolization was not altered.
