IMMUNE MECHANISMS OF GRAM-NEGATIVE INFECTIONS
Abstract
A general description of natural defense mechanisms acting against gram-negative infections is presented with a discussion of the processes by which bacterial infection may be enhanced or suppressed. The importance of the cellular defense mechanism has been emphasized with an attempt to demonstrate the important interrelationships with humoral defense mechanisms. It is believed that an understanding of the basic physiologic processes involved in the normal evolution of the immune response will benefit the surgeon in the rational avoidance and therapy of specific infections.
