Abstract: A Preliminory observation and mechanism survey about the effect of immune regulator-BCG on the capacity of resistance against pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection in mice were reported in the present paper. The mice preinfected with BCG (1mg/per mouse iv) were shown to be highly resistant to subsequent challenge with PA (3LD50), and susceptible to lethal effect of rough PA endotoxin. The results of our experiment showed that BCG-induced resistance to PA was related to an enhanced eliminating ability produced by fixed phagocytes of mice and BCG-induced susceptibility to PA endotoxin might be attributed to blockage of reticulo-endothelial system of mice by BCG. The relationship of experimental results was discussed.
