The authors investigated the ability of vitreous harvested from eyes previously infected with Staphylococcus epidermidis or inflamed with heat-killed cells of the same organism to support subsequent in vitro bacterial growth. Growth of S. epidermidis and S. aureus was not supported by previously inflamed or previously infected vitreous, but Pseudomonas aerugnosa grew in all samples. These findings suggest induction of an antistaphylococcal substance by infection or inflammation of rabbit vitreous by S. epidermidis.
作者研究了从先前感染表皮葡萄球菌或被相同生物体的热灭活细胞炎症的眼睛中采集的玻璃体支持后续体外细菌生长的能力。先前发炎或先前感染的玻璃体不支持表皮葡萄球菌和金黄色葡萄球菌的生长，但铜绿假单胞菌在所有样本中均生长。这些发现表明，表皮葡萄球菌感染或炎症可诱导兔玻璃体产生一种抗葡萄球菌物质。
