Abstract
Norepinephrine is a stress hormone that enhances bacterial growth. We examined the effects of a small inoculum on the norepinephrine-induced growth of species previously reported to be unaffected by norepinephrine. The results indicated that a reduced inoculum density is essential for observing norepinephrine-induced effects. Additional studies using serum-free media suggested that transferrin plays a role in norepinephrine-induced growth.Entities:
