Infection of mice by aerosols of Klebsiella pneumoniae under hyperbaric conditions.

R J Heckly, M A Chatigny and R L Dimmick

ABSTRACT

Both the physical behavior of aerosols and survival of airborne Serratia marcescens in hyperbaric chambers with a helium-air mixture at 20 atm of pressure was approximately the same as in the system at ambient pressures. Exposure of mice to aerosols of Klebsiella pneumoniae at 1-, 2-, and 17-atm (ca. 101-, 203-, and 1,722-kPa) pressures of helium-oxygen mixture showed that the number of viable organisms constituting a 50% lethal dose was not significantly affected by the hyperbaric conditions.
