Treatment of Experimental Infection in Mice with Colicine V Free

Abstract

SUMMARY

Concentrated non-toxic preparations of colicine V were obtained by filtering centrifugates of soft-agar cultures of a Col V K12 strain of through Millipore filters in which the colicine V was retained. These preparations, given subcutaneously, favourably influenced the course of disease in mice infected intraperitoneally with a pathogenic strain of that was very sensitive to colicine V A beneficial effect was noted even when treatment was delayed until the mice were visibly ill.
