The best-known role of neutrophils is control of pathogen growth. Neutrophils contain and kill pathogens through a variety of antimicrobial activities. Regardless of the mechanism, the ability to kill pathogens is a vital outcome. This chapter describes a method to measure the in vitro bactericidal activity of isolated neutrophils as the endpoint of converging innate immune functions.
