The relationship of the bacterial cells in populations and their adhesion activity is at present one of the research priorities in microbiological studies. The stimulating effect of penicillin on the development of morphologically different intercellular bonds (IB) in populations of the pertussis causative agent and first of all derivatives or evaginates of the cell wall membranes was observed. Morphologically similar systems and polytubular IB were detected in populations of meningococcal strains isolated from carriers having no signs of the disease. Correlation between the after-effect of penicillin and the presence of the causative agent in bacterial carriers was shown. Unknown systems of interlacing tubular structures not directly bound with the cells, the walls of which were single contour membranes were determined in the meningococcal populations treated with penicillin. IB were observed in the population in the form of transpopulation cords. Morphologically different IB playing the role of specialized organelles might be considered as factors of the functional unity of the bacterial population as a multicellular system.
群体中细菌细胞与其黏附活性之间的关系是目前微生物学研究的重点之一。观察到青霉素对百日咳病原体群体中形态不同的细胞间键（IB）的形成具有刺激作用，首先是细胞壁膜的衍生物或外翻物。在从无疾病迹象的携带者中分离出的脑膜炎球菌菌株群体中检测到形态相似的系统和多管状IB。显示了青霉素的后效应与细菌携带者中病原体存在之间的相关性。在用青霉素处理的脑膜炎球菌群体中确定了与细胞无直接联系的交错管状结构的未知系统，其壁为单轮廓膜。在群体中观察到跨群体索状形式的IB。形态不同的IB作为专门的细胞器发挥作用，可被视为细菌群体作为多细胞系统功能统一的因素。
