Abstract excerpt
The interaction of over 100 isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa representing different genotypes of type III secretion system (TTSS) with RAW 264.7 murine macrophage-like cells and pulmonary microvascular endothelial (PME) cells were studied. The strains were isolated from clinical materials and from stool specimens of healthy carriers and were analyzed by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) to characterize...
