Activation and IL-1 β secretion of human peripheral phagocytes infected with Actinomadura madurae, Nocardia asteroides and Candida albicans

Conclusions The extent of cell-viability and activation as well IL-1β secretion may be related with the virulence of C. albicans and N. asteroides and other parameters remain to be explored for assesing the virulence of A. madurae.
