Intracellular survival and replication of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae within murine macrophages: failure of induction of the oxidative burst of macrophages.

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the ability of a virulent wild-type parent strain and acapsular avirulent transposon mutants to enter and survive intracellularly within murine peritoneal macrophages. In the presence of normal or immune serum, the parent and mutant strains were both ingested; however, the number of ingested bacteria was three- to fourfold greater in the case of mutant strains than in the case of the parent...
