Impaired macrophage phagocytosis of bacteria in severe asthma

BACKGROUND: Bacteria are frequently cultured from sputum samples of severe asthma patients suggesting a defect in bacterial clearance from the airway. We measured the capacity of macrophages from patients with asthma to phagocytose bacteria. METHODS: Phagocytosis of fluorescently-labelled polystyren...
