Abstract

When polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMN) elicited in mice were infected with or , phagosome–lysosome fusion occurred with both species. This contrasts with the situation in macrophages where phagosome–lysosome fusion is inhibited by but not . No evidence was found for killing of or when the bacteria were isolated from PMN and their viability tested in cell-free medium or macrophages.
