Pneumococcal Replicative State in Relation to its Adherence Capacity to A549-cell Line: A Preliminary in vitro Analysis

This study was to compare the replication capacity of pneumococcal isolates (serotypes 1, 7F, 19F and 23F) with their adherence pattern to monolayer cells (A549). For standardization purposes, all isolates showed a normal growth curve in both bacteriological (THB + 0.5% yeast extract with and withou...
