Abstract:
Henle 407 and HeLa cells were compared as hosts for Shigella dysenteriae at a low multiplicity of infection. Efficiency of attachment and invasion without centrifugation, as well as selectivity for pathogenic over nonpathogenic S. dysenteriae without Congo red, were much greater for Henle 407 cells than for HeLa cells.
