Abstract excerpt
Legionella pneumophila readily grows in cultures of thioglycollate (TGC)-induced macrophages (MPs) from A/J mice, but not in MPs from BALB/c mice or other mouse strains. In the present study, the growth of Legionella pneumophilia in MPs from A/J and BALB/c mice, as well as hybrids of the two stra...
