| − | *Invasive ''Yersinia'' grow inside macrophages
| |
| − | *Survive in phagolysosomes and do not interfere with degranulation or lysosomal fusion
| |
| − | *Resistant to macrophage killing mechanisms
| |
| − | *The bacteria destroy the macrophages in lymph nodes, liver and spleen, causing septicaemia
