Abstract
Centrifugation enhanced the infectivity of invasive E. coli and Y. enterocolitica for HEp-2 cells. Noninvasive bacteria were not endocytosed after centrifugation. The centrifugation procedure may increase the sensitivity of testing for bacterial invasiveness in cell culture without causing false-positive results.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
