Table 2.

Quantification of cells undergoing phagocytosis.

Time post infection Percentage of phagocytic cells
E. coli S. aureus
5 minutes 22 ± 4a 45 ± 3a
60 minutes 41 ± 2b 86 ± 6b
14 hours 0 ± 0c 6 ± 1c
24 hours 0 ± 0c 0 ± 0d

Values represent mean ± s.e.m. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences among cells undergoing phagocytosis (E. coli or S. aureus) and non-phagocytic cells at different time points (One-Way ANOVA: for E. coli F3-11 = 876.8, p < 0.0001; for S. aureus F3-11 = 910.8, p < 0.0001).
