Table 5. Cytotoxicity of the Smooth and Rough variants of Bp MSHR5848 in J774.A1 macrophage cultures.

MNGC or necrotic MNGC
Variant % cell loss % cells dead (TB)a cells (% of total)b nuclei (%)b
Smooth 75 75 17.7 67.2
Rough 15 12.5 3.6 14.5

aTB: determined by trypan blue staining and does not include unstained necrotic (dead) cells.

bThe extensive cell loss induced by the Smooth infection minimized the significance of these values.
