Morphological changes in the cells of the mucous membrane of the tracheo-bronchial system and in staphylococci under the conditions of intratracheal infection were studied. Different forms of interaction between the host cell and staphylococci, reflecting the organ specific properties and a wide range of compensation and adaptation reactions of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells were revealed with the use of electron microscopy.
