FIG. 5.

Aggregation of B. pertussis and B. bronchiseptica in the presence of SP-D. Bacteria were suspended to an OD600 of 0.6 in SS salts. Bacteria alone or bacteria with purified rat SP-D added at the indicated concentrations were incubated at 37°C with shaking for 3 h. Values are reported as a percentage of the starting OD600, and bars represent means ± standard errors of the means. An asterisk indicates a statistically significant (P ≤ 0.05) difference from the no SP-D control. B. pertussis WT, strain BP338; B. bronchiseptica WT, strain RB50.
