Effect of staphylococcal alpha-toxin on phagocytosis of staphylococci by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

Evidence is presented which shows that alpha-toxin elaborated by Staphylococcus aureus can affect certain of the biological functions of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). The pretreatment of PMNs with low doses (less than 10 hemolytic units) of purified toxin enhanced their ability to phagoc...
