[Some features of tonsillar microflora and microbial interaction (in normal and pathological states)].

The description of a new method for the determination of interaction between bacterial strains isolated from the mucous membrane of tonsils of healthy children and patients with chronic tonsillitis. In the analysis of mutual influence of symbionts on the hemolytic, lecitovitellase, lysozyme and antilysozyme activity of microbes isolated from healthy children no changes in the expression of these pathogenicity and persistence factors have been detected in the overwhelming majority of cases (70.8-89.9%). In the microflora of sick children interactions were synergic with respect to pathogenicity factors in 35.2-46.7% of cases and antagonistic in 18.7-31.3% of cases.

[Bacterial interactions].

The review deals with specific features of interactions in microbial biocenoses. The subdivision of the mechanisms of microbial interactions in associations into direct and indirect ones is proposed. The formation of intercellular contacts and matrix belongs to one group of mechanisms, the second group includes the products of metabolism (changes in the physical and chemical composition of the medium, specific growth regulators) and secreted factors (antibacterial substances, pheromones and signal molecules, vitamins, specific mediators). The applied aspects of the knowledge of microbial interactions in the human body are presented.
