Abstract
Of twelve different staphylococcal species tested, Staphylococcus capitis and Staphylococcus warneri bound human serum high density lipoprotein (HDL). The binding of HDL was observed with bacteria cultivated of brain-heart infusion broth agar, but not on nutrient broth agar. The factor mediating the binding of HDL seems to be a bacterial component and not a component of the growth medium. Studies on the binding of HDL to S. capitis showed that a subfraction of HDL was involved in the reaction. This subfraction constituted approximately 30% of the total purified serum HDL.
