THE ACTION OF TESTICLE, KIDNEY, AND SPLEEN EXTRACTS ON THE INFECTIVE POWER OF BACTERIA

M Pijoan. J Exp Med. .

Abstract

The addition of testicle extract to cultures of 20 different bacteria just prior to inoculation enhances their infectious activity to a high degree. Kidney extracts enhance the infections of staphylococci to a less degree than testicle extracts, while spleen extracts never give rise to enhancement, and often cause the lesion to be less than would ordinarily be the case.
