Abstract
Nude (Nu/Nu) and heterozygous (NU/+) mice were infected with Actinomyces israelii serotype I by either intranasal instillation or intravenous injection. Lung clearance data and 50% lethal dose values indicated that T-lymphocytes were not necessary for pulmonary clearance or prevention of systemic actinomycosis. However, T-lymphocyte deficiency may play a role in the localized cervicofacial form of actinomycosis.Entities:
