Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli K-12 mutants possessing defined lesions affecting type 1 pilus production, receptor binding, or length were examined for their ability to resist killing by mouse peritoneal macrophages in vitro. Mutants were mixed pairwise at known ratios in wells containing macrophages, and after incubation, the ratio of the survivors was assayed. The difference in phagocytic killing between type 1 piliated...
