immune system
• neutrophils exhibit defective intracellular killing and digestion of relatively nonpathogenic gram-positive bacteria compared with wild-type cells
• however, neutrophil phagocytic uptake is normal
|
• following intraperitoneal infection with gram-positive bacteria of low pathogenicity
• however, susceptibility to infection with more pathogenic gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria is normal
