The Dissociation by Colchicine of Phagocytosis from Increased Oxygen Consumption in Human Leukocytes

The effect of colchicine on the uptake of oxygen by human leukocytes during phagocytosis of live streptococci or of killed staphylococci was compared with the effect of colchicine on phagocytosis per se, measured in a sensitive bacterial system.
