ASSOCIATIVE SYMBIOSIS IN INFLUENZA
The results of the analysis of microorganism associations, isolated from nasal and tonsil mucosa of healthy people and patients with influenza are presented. Micro-biocenosis of upper respiratory tract of healthy people is characterized by high frequency of association formation. It has been established that microorganisms isolated from patients with influenza form associations less often being isolated more frequently in monocultures. However in influenza patients with bacterial complications microflora forms associations more often in comparison with microflora from influenza patients without complications. As sociation analysis of isolated microorganisms has shown that symbiosis in associations is maintained mainly in the form of antagonism. Only in microorganisms isolated from healthy people a number of associations had synergistic characteristics. Biological properties in associations changed in a greater degree in microorganisms isolated from patients with influenza.
