Results from the phagocytosis assay (six donors) according to multiplicity of infection.

Multiplicity of infection (CFU: cells)	A. Neutrophils with internalised organisms only (mean % ± standard deviation)	B. Neutrophils with both internalised and external organisms (mean % ± standard deviation)	C. Neutrophils with external organisms only (mean % ± standard deviation)	D. Total with internalised organisms (=A. + B.) (mean % ± standard deviation)	E. Total with external organisms (=B. + C.) (mean % ± standard deviation)	F. Neutrophils not associated with organisms (mean % ± standard deviation)
