[Phagocytability of Pseudomonas pseudomallei].
Experiments were conducted on the cell culture of macrophages of animals significantly differing by the extent of resistance to melioidosis; the presence of correlation between the extent of the animal natural immunity and the intensity of dying of the microbes in the test system was demonstrated. The causative agent of melioidosis proved to be more resistant to phagocytosis with guinea pig macrophages than E. coli. Ps. aeruginosa and A. mallei. It was impossible to establish any relationship between the efficacy of phagocytosis by animal macrophages and the virulence or morphology of the colonies in the Ps. pseudomallei species.
