[Inflammation and host resistance against bacteria. I.--Increased resistance against Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella typhimurium in mice, following their treatment with bradykinin, kallidin and methionyl-lysyl-bradykinin (author's transl)].

Mice pretreated with kinins are more resistant to a lethal challenge of Listeria monocytogenes. The multiplication of Listeria is decreased in the liver and spleen and the blood clearance of Salmonella typhi-murium is increased.
