[Possible role of opsonins in adsorption and transport of biological membranes and viruses by Staphylococci].
Electron microscopy of ultrathin sections of Staphylococcus aureus cells, Wood-46 strain, opsonized by the blood serum has revealed deposition of blood serum components on the bacterial cell walls. The bacteria opsonized by the blood serum absorbed biological membranes and the influenza virus virions. Staphylococcus-opsonin-virus complexes were digested by polymorphonuclear leukocytes. In mixed infection models staphylococci and influenza virus virions were detected in different parts of the phagocyte cytoplasm.
