PMN-mediated bacterial killing, defined as the proportion of viable bacteria after 30 min of phagocytosis compared to S-IgY-opsonized controls. Isolated PMNs were challenged with S-IgY- or C-IgY-opsonized or non-IgY (-IgY) PAO1 cells, and the number of viable bacteria was determined by colony counting the next day. Each bar shows the percent survival ± the standard error of the mean of experiments run in duplicates. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.03.
