title: [Interaction of the vegetative and nonculturable forms of Salmonella typhimurium with bacteria of the genus Bdellovibrio].
abstract: The data on the interaction of bacteria of the genus Bdellovibrio with the representatives of pathogenic Salmonella typhimurium are presented. Different types of such interaction are demonstrated: in a two-component system, in fluid media, in an agar layer and on the surface of a solid carrier. As shown for the first time, Bdellovibrio cells are capable of interacting not only with actively growing bacteria, but also with their noncultivable forms. The data obtained may serve as the basis for the study of possible practical use of such bacteria for controlling Gram-negative organisms, the causative agents of sapronotic infections.
