Requirements for immunoglobulin [Ig] and the alternative and classical complement [C] pathways for phagocytosis and intracellular killing of clinical isolates of Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Serratia marcescens by normal human polymorphonuclear leukocytes were determined. Human sera deficient in Ig or classical pathway activity or both were compared for ability to promote phagocytosis and killing of 13 bacterial strains by the polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Of the 13 microorganisms, 7 required Ig for phagocytosis and killing and utilized only the classical C pathway. Three required Ig and utilized the classical and alternative pathways. The other 3 microorganisms required minimal Ig and utilized the alternative or classical pathway or both. No microorganism utilized the alternative pathway in Ig-deficient sera or could be forced to utilize this pathway in sera deficient in Ig and classical pathway activity. A heterogeneity in the requirements for Ig and the alternative and classical C pathways for phagocytosis and intracellular killing by polymorphonuclear leukocytes was demonstrated among various genera of gram-negative aerobic bacilli and among strains of the same species. A mechanism of classical pathway activation dependent upon minimal Ig may participate in phagocytosis and intracellular killing of certain gram-negative aerobic bacilli.
