[Electron microscopic study of the interrelation of the L forms of beta-hemolytic Streptococcus group A with mouse peritoneal macrophages].
Interrelations between the L-forms of group A beta-hemolytic streptococci and mouse peritoneal macrophages have been studied by electron microscopy. The macrophages have been shown to actively phagocytize L-form cells in great amounts. Most of the phagocytized L-forms are destroyed and become nonviable, but a few of them survive as elementary bodies within 48 hours.
