Comparison of the effects of a cytochalasin and b resistin on the bacterial killing capacity of P. aeruginosa by primary human monocytes versus PMN (neutrophils). Cytochalasin significantly impairs bacterial killing by both primary PMN (P = 0.0009) and primary monocytes (P < 0.0001). Resistin does not affect bacterial killing by monocytes (P = 0.91) but significantly impairs killing by neutrophils (P = 0.003). n = 21 for monocytes and n = 18 for neutrophils. Asterisk denotes statistical significance (P < 0.05)
