Abstract excerpt
The ability of Campylobacter jejuni to survive in monocytes after phagocytic uptake was tested in a new in vitro model using adherent macrophages derived from human peripheral monocytes. The cells were stimulated with cytokines before use to ensure full phagocytic and killing activity. The kinetics of uptake and killing of bacteria was followed for 72 h with 16 strains, including stool and blood isolates and...
