Structural and functional reorganization of staphylococci and the pneumatic system following experimental intratracheal introduction of pathogen

Medical Academy, Institute of Cellular and Intracellular Symbiosis, Orenburg, Russia

Morphological changes in the cells of the mucous membrane of the tracheo-bronchial system and in staphylococci under the conditions of intratracheal infection were studied. Different forms of interaction between the host cell and staphylococci, reflecting the organ specific properties and a wide range of compensation and adaptation reactions of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells were revealed with the use of electron microscopy.
