title: [Effect of Corynebacterium non diphtheriae on functional activity and apoptosis of macrophages].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Determine the ability of Corynebacterium non diphtheriae to induce phagocytosis and apoptosis of macrophages and evaluate regulatory effect of nuetrophilokines (NPK) induced by Corynebacterium non diphtheriae on these processes.
  
  
  METHODS
  The ability of Corynebacterium non diphtheriae, isolated from upper respiratory tract, skin and urogenital tract (UGT) were studied for the ability to induce phagocytosis and apoptosis of mice macrophages (MP; in vitro during staining by May-Grunwald with additional staining by Romanowsky-Giemsa) before and after the addition of NPK induced by Corynebacterium non diphtheriae.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Phagocytic index (PI) was the same for all the Corynebacterium non diphtheriae species, phagocytic number (PN) and index of phagocytosis completion (IPC)--were minimal relative to corynebacteria isolated from UGT. All the studied corynebacteria species induced MP apoptosis; the most pronounced apoptogenic effect was detected in Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis isolated from UGT. NPK increased PN against corynebacteria isolated from the studied biotopes, IPC--only during studies of corynebacteria isolated from skin. The effect of NPK resulted in a reduction of apoptogenic effect for almost all the Corynebacterium non diphtheriae, regardless of the isolation location.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A pronounced apoptogenic effect and insufficiency of phagocytosis processes induced by corynebacteria are the means of realization of Corynebacterium non diphtheriae pathogenic effect. NPK use is possible for immune correction of immune deficiency conditions developing against the background of diseases determined by Corynebacterium non diphtheriae.
