Nonencapsulated Haemophilus influenzae strains isolated from patients with chronic bronchitis can be divided into those that persist in the lower respiratory tract and those that do not, We tested the hypothesis that persisting and nonpersisting strains differ in the extent to which they activate epithelial cells to produce two potent inflammatory mediators, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8.A suspension of 10(7) and 10(8) colony forming units (cfu).mL(-1) of H. influenzae, persisting and nonpersisting, induced a dose-and time-dependent production of IL-6 and IL-8 by the human pulmonary mucoepidermoid carcinoma-derived cell line H292, but levels of IL-6 were lower after exposure to persisting H. influenzae (p
