[Ultrastructural aspects of the process of Salmonella typhi bacterial interaction with L929-line cells].
The study of the use of scanning electron microscopy and the analysis of the initial stages of interaction between S. typhi and eukaryotic cells by the method of three-dimensional reconstruction has revealed that the infective agent penetrates into the cytoplasm on the principle of internalization. The internalization of S. typhi occurs with the active participation of the eukaryotic cells which, at the beginning, envelopes the bacteria with its processes, and the infective agents firmly adhere to the glycocalyx of the host cell by means of special fimbria-like formations differing from fimbriae by their lesser rigidity and thickness; then the microbes fixed to the membrane penetrate inside the cell without destroying its cytoplasmic membrane. Differences in the processes of the interaction of eukaryotic cells with S. typhi initial strain 238 and its variant free from the plasmid with a molecular weight of 6 Md, characterized by its lower capacity for association with cells of continuous cell culture L929, have been revealed. The factors stimulating the ingestion of S. typhi by eukaryotic cells are under study at present.
