[Effect of microfields of magnetically aligned media on Treponema pallidum. 1].

An end ferromagnetic masking of T. pallidum has been revealed; this phenomenon appears to help the bacterium orientation in human body under the effects of both the external electromagnetic fields and the internal sources of such fields in the body. The studies have demonstrated the primary physicochemical mechanism of the magnetic field action of T. pallidum--human body biological system. A magnetically regulated medium (MRM) is a tool altering the characteristics of the biological material and revealing the new properties of the pathogenic bacterium. This latter fact promotes search for new approaches to the suppression of T. pallidum and, probably, other pathogens' infectious activities. Immediate degradation of T. pallidum in thin MRM suggests a possibility of creating potent antibacterial coating for working elements of medical instruments.
