title: [New structural components detected in B. pertussis of different serotypes].
abstract: The authors present electron microscopic data on the study of morphological peculiarities of the strains belonging to various serological types. All the strains studied had a structure characteristic of Gram-negative bacteria. Two types intracellular membranes and intracytoplasmic crystal-like structures were revealed in a number of strains (No. 222, No. gZ353, No. 475), irrespective of the serological types. Dynamics of formation of the crystal-like structures in the bacterial cell was described. Marked changes occurred in the cells with the formation of crystal-like structures: cytoplasmic membrane became detached from the cell wall with the resultant contraction of the cytoplasm; large periplastic spaces formed.
