Abstract
Subcutaneous infection chambers in rabbits were infected with a strain of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from a patient with toxic shock syndrome. Estrogens (mestranol and 17-beta-estradiol) protected male rabbits and prolonged survival. Neither androgens (testosterone and dihydrotestosterone) nor progesterone affected the susceptibility of intact or ovarihysterectomized female rabbits.Entities:
