Abstract excerpt
The antimicrobial susceptibilities of Legionella pneumophila isolates grown either in U937 human monocytic cells or in Acanthamoeba polyphaga were studied after release from the host cells without further subculture. Time-survival studies showed that exposure of L. pneumophila cells, gown exclusi...
