  • Title: [In vivo experimental modelling of the infectious process caused by stable L forms of the causative agent of typhoid].
    Author: Prozorovskiĭ SV, Tsarevskiĭ LP, Levina GA, Gorelov AL.
    Journal: Zh Mikrobiol Epidemiol Immunobiol; 1985 Aug; (8):10-4. PubMed ID: 4060947.
    Abstract:
    To simulate the infectious process and to study the persistence of L-forms, rabbits and guinea pigs were infected with S. typhi stable L-forms. The materials presented in this work indicate that both subconjunctival and intraperitoneal infection led to the development of the clinically indistinct, but morphologically pronounced pathological process with characteristic localization and typical changes in the gastrointestinal tract. The typical features of the process were the generalized immunomorphological reaction of the lymphoid apparatus with the appearance of light-colored reticulomacrophagal elements, the signs of the activation of humoral and cell-mediated immunity and the formation of small epitheloidocellular granulomas. The results of the investigation indicate that the stable cultures of S. typhi L-forms are highly pathogenic and capable of inducing the infectious process in experimental animals.
