Interaction between Macrophage (Mф) Raw264.7 and K. pneumoniae biofilm Non- activated Mф exposed to the live biofilm (A) and heat inactivated biofilm (B); Phagocytosis assay in the presence of LPS and IFN-γ (co-treated) to the live biofilm (A) and Heat inactivated biofilm (B). Increased phagocytic response was observed in both the cases of heat inactivated and live biofilm in the presence of LPS. Where arrow represents internalized bacterial biofilm by macrophages (Scale bar = 10 µm). Statistics performed by t-test, * represents significant fold increase (p < 0.05)
