Interaction of Bartonella henselae with endothelial cells promotes monocyte/macrophage chemoattractant protein 1 gene expression and protein production and triggers monocyte migration.

abstract：:Streptococcus pneumoniae interacts with vascular endothelial cells during the course of bacteremia. In this study, we characterized the initial attachment of pneumococci to human endothelial cells (EC) and the response of the endothelium to this interaction. Pneumococci adhered to EC in a dose-dependent fashion. Attac...
