The cytolytic effects of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium on chicken heterophils.
Mixing of chicken heterophils and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium resulted in a rapid disappearance of heterophils when examined by scanning electron microscopy and trypan blue dye exclusion test. This disappearance appeared to be caused by a rapid degranulation of heterophils.
