The presence of attached bacteria to epithelial cells from the nasopharyngeal surface of the soft palate, from the adenoid surface and from the secretions covering the adenoid was studied in 10 children undergoing adenoidectomy. Large numbers of bacteria were seen to attach to mature normal squamous epithelial cells from the soft palate and in the secretions, whereas attachment to adenoid epithelial cells was rare. Using differential interference contrast microscopy, bacteria-carrying epithelial cells were seen to have their surface covered by microridges characteristic of normal mature squamous epithelial cells. Sections of adenoid tissue showed bacterial infiltration of adenoid tissue to be virtually nonexistent in the patient group.
对10名接受腺样体切除术的儿童，研究了软腭鼻咽表面、腺样体表面以及覆盖腺样体的分泌物中上皮细胞附着细菌的情况。发现大量细菌附着于软腭成熟的正常鳞状上皮细胞以及分泌物中，而附着于腺样体上皮细胞的情况很少见。利用微分干涉相差显微镜观察到，携带细菌的上皮细胞表面覆盖着正常成熟鳞状上皮细胞特有的微嵴。腺样体组织切片显示，在该患者组中，细菌对腺样体组织的浸润几乎不存在。
