Replication of M. tuberculosis strains in THP-1 cells. THP-1 cells were induced to differentiate into macrophages5 and infected with H37Rv and ST212. The cells were lysed to release mycobacteria on select days and were plated onto 7H10 to determine CFU. The reported values represent the averages and standard deviations of three parallel independent infections. Strains: H37Rv (◆); ST212 (▲).
