Pre-exposure of cells to bacteria has no significant effect on RSV replication. BEAS-2B cells were exposed to heat-inactivated bacteria for 24 h, after which cell layers were washed and infected with RSV for another 72 h. a Intracellular RSV RNA copies were determined by real-time PCR. b Release of infectious progeny in culture supernatants was measured by determining the TCID50. NTHI: non-typeable H. influenzae, PA: P. aeruginosa, SP: S. pneumoniae, n.s.: not significant
