| Abstract | Phagocytosis by bovine polymorphonuclear granulocytes of seven capsular polysaccharide type 5 Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from mastitis [corrected] was investigated by means of luminol-dependent chemiluminescence. Bacteria were grown on four different agar media (brain heart infusion, Columbia broth, modified staphylococcus medium 110, and skim milk) and were opsonized by normal bovine serum. When compared to growth on brain heart infusion agar, Columbia agar, and modified staphylococcus medium 110 agar, growth on skim milk agar rendered five of the strains more resistant to opsonization. The other two strains were resistant in all culture media used. Short periods of incubation in milk after growth on brain heart infusion agar did not augment resistance to phagocytosis, indicating that mere adsorption of milk components on bacteria was not responsible. The variability of the chemiluminescence response of polymorphonuclear leukocytes was pronounced among strains with each growth medium except milk. Growth on modified staphylococcus medium 110 and on milk agar favored the masking of teichoic acid, as shown by inagglutinability with rabbit antiserum. Interestingly, agglutination by a monoclonal antibody to capsular polysaccharide type 5 was optimal when bacteria were grown on skim milk agar. This suggests that capsular polysaccharide participated in the masking effect. These findings indicate that masking of the bacterial target of most of the naturally acquired opsonins present in normal bovine serum occurred when bacteria grew in the presence of milk, resulting in an increased resistance to phagocytosis by polymorphonuclear leukocytes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
