Blood serum protein profiles and lysozyme activity in dogs during experimental infection with Staphylococcus intermedius.

The article discusses a study which assessed how Staphylococcus intermedius infection among dogs can affect blood serum protein and lysozome levels. It describes the physiological function of plasma proteins present in humans and animals, and its classification based on electrophoretic mobility. Researchers proposde that total protein (TP) concentration in dogs can change during an infection with bacteria that causes pyodermitis. The article also notes the function of lysozyme as a natural defense of chickens from coccidiosis infection.
