[Functional activity of mouse peritoneal macrophages contaminated with gram-positive bacteria].
The analysis of the functional and enzymatic activity of mouse peritoneal macrophages contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes virulent strains is presented. The low bactericidal and digestive activity of these cells with respect to the above-mentioned microorganisms was determined. In this study a decrease in the activity of plasmatic membrane enzymes (5'-nucleotidase and ATP-ase) of macrophages contaminated with S. aureus and L. monocytogenes was observed, which was indicative of the stimulation of phagocytes. A rise in the activity of the oxygen-dependent system of macrophages contaminated with S. aureus and L. monocytogenes was detected by means of the nitro blue tetrazolium test. At the same time a decrease in the intracellular content of nitrogen oxide end metabolites in macrophages was detected with a rise in content of nitrogen oxide in the supernatants.
