RESUMO
Bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) inhibited growth of cell wall-deficient Acholeplasma laidlawii and L forms of certain strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. However, the same strains of S. aureus and S. pyogenes with intact cell walls were not susceptible to the growth-inhibitory effects of BPI.
