Percent killing of salmonellae by PMNs isolated from chickens (heterophils) and humans (neutrophils)
| Isolate | % Killing by PMNs froma:
|
|
|---|---|---|
| Chicken | Human | |
| S. typhimurium χ3181 | 51.57 ± 5.23 | 73.2 ± 5.99 |
| S. pullorum χ3423 | 77.29 ± 5.03 | 93 ± 1.9 |
Results were determined by using a colorimetric assay of bacterial viability in at least three trials with duplicate wells. Killing was determined by the difference in bacterial viability prior to and after a 2-h incubation with the leukocytes.
