Survival of USA300 after phagocytosis causes ultimate lysis of PMNs. a Survival of USA300 clinical isolates [12] after phagocytic interaction with human PMNs. b Lysis of PMNs after phagocytic interaction with USA300 clinical isolates. c Ability of USA300 culture supernatants to permeabilize plasma membranes of human neutrophils. YCP ctrl = YCP medium control (unused medium). All bars except YCP ctrl represent separate USA300 clinical isolates. Arrows indicate strains for which PMN lysis did not correlate with pore formation. Results are the mean ± standard deviation of 10-18 (a), 8-10 (b) or 8-29 (c) PMN donors.
