Super oxide dismutase (SOD) content in intracellularly viable S. aureus (CMC-524, ICH-629 and ICH-757) lysate recovered after time dependent phagocytosis with murine macrophages. The bacteria that were survived after time dependent phagocytosis as obtained from the plates of respective hours (plates of intracellular viable S. aureus from the above experiment) were further cultured in nutrient broth. Results in this figure represent the bacterial SOD content (in Unit/mg of bacterial protein) from the respective group of cell lysate
