| Abstract |
To investigate the antibacterial activities of blowfly larvae induced by natural infection. The sterile larvae were mixed in a test tube containing the bacteria E coli which was suspended in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and incubated at 25 °C for given periods, with sterilized PBS as control group. Then the haemolymph was collected and tested against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively. Diameter ring was recorded to indicate the antibacterial activities. Infected larvae had better antibacterial capacities than sterile larvae. Antibacterial activity peak appeared at 24 hours, and disappeared after 48 hours. The induced haemolymph from the larva possessed stronger antibacterial activity against S aureus than P aeruginosa. Antibacterial activities of the sterile larvae of blowfly Lucilia sericata could be induced by a natural infection model. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 July 2016.
All research outputs
#17,289,387
of 25,377,790 outputs
Outputs from West Indian Medical Journal
#119
of 224 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#202,818
of 319,301 outputs
Outputs of similar age from West Indian Medical Journal
#4
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,377,790 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 224 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.6. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 319,301 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
