Lysis of human and animal fibrins by the plague microbe

  • Pathological Physiology and General Pathology
  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

Bact.pestis is able to lysate purified fibrin not only of human blood, but also that of animals investigated by the author (pig, sheep, horse, bull, dog, guinea pig, and rabbit). Antifibrinolysins, i.e., fibrin-protective factors, contained in the blood sera of various animals, depress fibrinolysis provoked by B. pestis. The fibrinolytic factor of B. pestis is connected with the microbial cell and does not pass into the nutritive medium.
