[An electron microscopic study of the interaction between shigellae and cell cultures. II. Structuro-functional response of the chief cytoplasmic organoids of infected cells].

The initial mobilization of the protective power of amniotic cells under the influence of the intracellular parasite Shigellae Flexner was shown using qualitative and quantitative methods of electron microscopy. This mobilization is seen in the appearance and then concentration of membrane elements of the endoplasmic reticulum around the bacteria. The character of some degenerating changes confirms the opinion about the presence of an excreting endotoxin fraction in Shigellae Flexner.
