Abstract: Examines the influence of the persistence of Chlamydial envelope antigens in antibiotic-exposed infected cells on neutrophil chemotaxis. Use of an in vitro coculture model system; Upregulation of ENA-78 and GCP-2 chemokine messenger RNA; Delivery of bioreactive azithromycin by the chemotactic polymorphonuclear neutrophils.
