Abstract
Lung clearance of Diplococcus pneumoniae was markedly reduced in rats with acute hemorrhagic pulmonary edema produced by instillation of hydrochloric acid. Bacterial clearance was enhanced in both control and acid-instilled animals by pretreatment with a bacteriostatic antibiotic, tetracycline, 30 mg/kg. From these data the contributions of bacterial multiplication and bacterial elimination to net lung bacterial clearance were estimated. In control animals the constant for exponential bacterial elimination was -1.4283 (fractional clearance = 76% per h), and the doubling time for the pneumococcus was 170 min. In acid-instilled rats the elimination constant was -0.5336 (fractional clearance = 41% per h), and the doubling time of the pneumococcus was 47 min, approximating the doubling time of 42 min observed with pneumococci grown in broth.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
