ABSTRACT
The replication of Escherichia coli O157H7 on the resident peritoneal macrophages of four mice strains (BALB/c, CD1, C57BL, and Swiss) has been investigated. Macrophagial bactericidal killing activity was estimated via studying their ability to internalize (gentamicin-protected) E. coli during 2, 4, 24, and 48 h assays. Host genetic background has been found to show no significant effect on the ability of resident peritoneal macrophages to kill E. coli O157H7.
RESUMO
A multiplicação de Escherichia coli O157H7 em macrófagos peritoniais residentes de quatro linhagens de camundongos (BALB/C, CD1, C57BL e Swiss) foi investigada. A capacidade bactericida dos macrófagos foi estimada através da avaliação de sua capacidade de internalizar E.coli (protegidos pela gentamicina) em ensaios de 2, 4, 24 e 48h. Observou-se que as características genéticas do hospedeiro não têm efeito significativo na capacidade dos macrófagos peritoniais eliminarem E. coli O157H7.
