Studies on the interaction between macrophages and leptospires

M Cinco et al. J Gen Microbiol. 1981 Jun.

Abstract

Guinea-pig macrophages exerted no bactericidal activity against either a virulent or a saprophytic strain of leptospira during a 120 min period of contact at 37 degrees C. However, the same macrophages exhibited weak phagocytic powers towards these two strains of leptospira over a similar period of time.
