ABSTRACT
The adherence of bacteria to eukaryote cells has been largely investigated as an essential step in the occurrence of bacterial infection. Some clinical and epidemiological studies have revealed the frequent association of certain viral infections with bacterial infections originating in the same ecological niche. Therefore, we investigated the effect of the viral preinfection (ADV4) of some cultivated cells (HEp-2 and IC.SK-27) upon the adherence of staphylococcus to these cells. The analysis of cell adherence within the mentioned conditions, estimated by flow cytometry, allowed of the following conclusions:
1. bacterial adherence to cultivated and virally preinfected cells is augmented by the viral preinfection, and its value on a given cell substrate may characterize a bacterial strain; 2. bacterial adherence to the investigated cell substrates does not correlate with the origin of the tested staphylococcus strains (infections or carriers) and some cell lines can differentiate bacterial strains depending upon the ecological niche or inside it.
