	abstract = {In previous reports (1, 2) it has been shown
that lysosomal enzymes derived from various
populations of mammalian leukocytes failed
to degrade 14C-Iabeled group A streptococci
in vitro, On the other hand, Staphylococcus
albus, Micrococcus Iysodeikticus and Escherichia
coli were degraded to a large extent by
leukocyte lysosomal enzymes. It was thus of
interest to study the degradation of a variety
of labeled microorganisms in vivo in inflammatory lesions in the thigh muscle of the
mouse induced by the injection of heat-killed
microorganisms. The results indicate that
there may be a correlation between the degree
of degradation of microorganisms by leukocyte
lysates in vitro (1, 2) and the length of
their persistence in lesion sites in vivo.},

	abstract = {In previous reports (1-3), it has been shown
that lysosomal enzymes derived from a variety
of mammalian leukocyte populations degrade
14C-Iabeled Micrococcus lysodeikticus and
Staphylococcus albus extensively. On the other
hand, group A streptococci are very resistant
to lysis by leukocyte lysates. It has also been
shown that, unlike S. albus and M. lysodeikticus,
streptococci which are resistant to lysis
in vitro persist for long periods in granulomatous
lesions in mouse and rabbit tissues
(1, 2). Other reports (4, 5) have shown that
bacteria coated with specific antibodies are
degraded at a slower rate following phagocytosis,
as compared with untreated bacteria.
Cationic polyelectrolytes, such as polylysine
and polyarginine, agglutinate a variety of
bacteria (6), and cationic proteins derived
from leukocytes as well as from calf thymus
histone are bactericidal for a variety of microorganisms
(7). The possibility was therefore
investigated that, by analogy to antibodies,
cationic proteins may coat bacterial cells and
thus interfere with their degradation by leukocyte
lysosomal enzymes.},

The pathological alterations were characterized by synovial lining cell proliferation, polymorphonuclear and mononuclear cell infiltration with the appearance of pseudo-follicles and pannus formation. Electron microscopical proliferation of B cells was predominant. An active inflammatory exudate and numerous new capillaries were also seen. The induced arthritis was self-perpetuating and appears to resemble human rheumatoid arthritis.},

	abstract = {The evaluation of the streptozyme test in sera from 34 patients with streptococcal pyodermal nephritis was studied. Ninety-seven percent of the patients developed high titers of antistreptozyme antibodies on the first bleeding after hospitalization, in contrast to only 40\% of patients who developed elevated antistreptolysin O titers. The high antistreptozyme titers declined during convalescence and reached normal levels in the sixth month after onset of the disease. The most significant fall in titers occurred between 1 and 2 months from the onset of disease. The streptozyme test may be particularly helpful as a rapid screening test for antibodies in streptococcal pyodermal nephritis.},
