Different susceptibilities of yeasts and conidia of Penicillium marneffei to GM-CSF-activated polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN)

Without GM-CSF With GM-CSF
Yeast 1280 ± 196 568 ± 138*
Conidia 1356 ± 176 1396 ± 192**

Yeasts or conidia of Penicillium marneffei(1 × 103) were cultured with GM-CSF (10 ng/ml). After 24 h, the number of live microorganisms was counted. Results are expressed as mean colony-forming units (CFU) ± s.d. of triplicate cultures.

*

P < 0·05 compared with no GM-CSF group.

**

Not significant compared with no GM-CSF group.
