Abstract
During the course of studies on the characteristics of experimental bacteriemia, staphylococci were swiftly cleared from the blood stream of rabbits during the initial 10 to 15 minutes following intravenous injection of microorganisms. A subsequent abrupt decline in the rate of clearance ensued, resulting in a low grade bacteriemia which was demonstrable for many hours.
