Samenvatting:
Pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica cells do not induce the chemiluminescence response of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). We tested the chemiluminescence response to Y. enterocolitica mutants affected in the known pYV-encoded factors. We did not detect any influence of the Yops in this phenomenon. By contrast, the presence of YadA correlated with a lack of chemiluminescence. The expression of YadA at the bacterial surface also reduced the phagocytosis by PMNs. Finally, we measured the survival of Y. enterocolitica cells confronted with PMNs by the classical plating method and by a…
