Both the mean fluorescent intensity (*: = 0.04) and deposition index (**: = 0.01) were significantly lower for organisms recovered from the lungs of cirrhotic vs. control rats. 2011-12-31 10:54:00 quantification infection rats control cirrhotic lungs recovered pneumococci deposition complement atcc
