Abstract excerpt
Salmonella typhimurium strain LT2 is able to invade HeLa cells in vitro. The effect of the motility and chemotaxis of the bacteria on cell invasion were examined by two methods: (1) conventional invasion assays where the HeLa cell monolayers were placed horizontally at the bottom of plastic wells and (2) vertical assays where the HeLa cell monolayer attached to one face of plastic bottles was placed vertically....
