title: [The influence of bacteria of the Burkholderia cepacia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa complex on cell-mediated immune reactions in experimental animals].
abstract: The evidence has been obtained that various species, as well as individual strains having pathogenicity factors, produced different effect on the functional activity of immunocompetent B and T lymphocytes of mice infected intraperitoneally. The injection of live P. aerruginosa PA 103 and B. cepacia 8240 cells resulted in imunosuppression of antibody-forming cells, synthesizing antibodies to heterologous antigens. On the contrary, in the animals infected with B. cepacia 8236 the functional activity of B lymphocytes increased. An increase in the proliferative activity of spleen cells was noted in the presence of T and B mitogens after the infection of mice with P. aeruginosa PA 103 in comparison with B. cepacia 8236 and B. cepacia 8240 which produced a faintly pronounced modulating effect. The pathogenesis mechanisms of infections induced by these microorganisms as well as the development of chronic, persisting forms of the infectious process are discussed.
