[Structuro-functional properties of staphylococci in patients with pyoderma].

Electron-microscopic and ultra-cytochemical studies have shown the structural and functional features of pyoderma agents--staphylococci isolated from patients with acute and chronic pyoderma. The studies have revealed magnesium-activated ATPase and adenylate cyclase in these bacteria; the authors have tried to trace a correlation between these enzymes' activities and location and the disease pattern. This may help assess the bacterial population status and choose the drugs for purposeful pathogenetic therapy.
