Staphylococci were added to suspensions, in Hanks' solution, of leukocytes from human blood and macrophages from mouse peritoneum. After 15 min. oxacillin (25 micro g/ml) or streptomycin (50 micro g/ml) was added to the cultures. After four hours, 95-98% of Staph. albus and Staph. aureus were inactivated in the leukocyte suspensions, but from two days onwards intracellular multiplication of the bacteria was observed.
