Abstract

The interaction between humanneutrophils and the Gram negative gastrointestinal pathogen Yersiniapseudotuberculosis was investigated in vitro. Despite the wealth of data describing how Yersinia can affect the function of neutrophils, there are no published studies describing if neutrophil cells can affect the viability of Y. pseudotuberculosis. The wild-type IP32953 strain of Y. pseudotuberculosis was found to be resistant to killing by humanneutrophils. Confocal examination and flow-cytometric analysis of this interaction revealed that bacteria were taken up.
