Abstract
Summary
M. arginini, an arginine utilizer, can decrease the yield of Herpes simplex virus, type 1 grown in Vero cells. M. arginini can also cause a reduction in number and size of plaques produced by HSV. The reduction in titer and plaque size produced in M. arginini-infected cells can be reversed by supplementing medium with additional arginine. A. laidlawii, a non-arginine utilizing mycoplasma, had no effect on the growth of HSV.
