Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae evades phagocytic uptake by porcine alveolar macrophages in vitro

Abstract Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, the agent of porcine enzootic pneumonia (EP), is able to persist in the lung tissue and evade destruction by the host for several weeks. To understand the mechanism of pathogen survival, phagocytic uptake of M. hyopneumoniae by primary porcine alveolar macrophages...
