[Streptococcus pneumoniae interaction with continuous human cell lines].
The in vitro model of pneumococcal infection, using continuous mammalian cell lines, is proposed. Two different types of interaction between bacteria and eucaryotic cells are described: the intracellular ingestion of bacteria or their proliferation on the surface of the cellular monolayer, these different types of interaction being characteristic of different cell lines. In case of the proliferation of bacteria on the surface of the monolayer the forms, morphologically similar to the stages of microbial L-transformation, have been detected.
