Abstract
Few microorganisms evade killing by neutrophils. Summarized here are the mechanisms used by Yersinia, group A streptococci, Helicobacter, Ehrlichia and Francisella to block phagocytosis, disrupt phagosome maturation or perturb the respiratory burst. Also discussed are mechanisms used by neutrophils to control organisms that replicate inside macrophages.Entities:
