Serial BCG colony counts over 5 days in (A) monocyte-derived macrophages and (B) alveolar macrophages. Monocyte-derived macrophages and alveolar macrophages infected with BCG were cultured for 5 days after the addition of 10% cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on day 0 (post infection). The solid line represents unexposed macrophages and the dashed line represents CSE-exposed macrophages. Each day represents the time point (post infection) when macrophages were lysed and organism load derived by counting the number of colony forming units (CFU) on solid media. Monocyte-derived macrophages, n=9 (day 1–3) and n=5 (day 5); alveolar macrophages, n=5 (day 1–4) and n=4 (day 5).
