  • Title: LYSIS OF PLEUROPNEUMONIA-LIKE ORGANISMS BY STAPHYLOCOCCAL AND STREPTOCOCCAL TOXINS.
    Author: BERNHEIMER AW, DAVIDSON M.
    Journal: Science; 1965 May 28; 148(3674):1229-31. PubMed ID: 14280003.
    Abstract:
    Six strains representing three species of Mycoplasma were examined for susceptibility to lysis by staphylococcal and streptococcal toxins. All were sensitive to staphylococcal alpha-toxin, two to streptolysin S, and three to streptolysin O. The results support the concept that the limiting membrane of pleuropneumonia-like organisms is basically similar to those of many other cell types and provide additional evidence for the participation of cholesterol in cytolysis induced by streptolysin O.
