Induction of Necrosis in Human Macrophage Cell Lines by <i>Corynebacterium diphtheriae</i> and <i>Corynebacterium ulcerans</i> Strains Isolated from Fatal Cases of Systemic Infections
When infecting a human host, <i>Corynebacterium diphtheriae</i> and <i>Corynebacterium ulcerans</i> are able to impair macrophage maturation and induce cell death. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well understood. As a framework for this project, a combina...
