[Adsorption of different cell cultures on colonies of M. hominis]

A study was made of sorption of 6 continuous lines of cells on the colonies of 55 M. hominis strains isolated from patients with inflammatory diseases of the urogenital tract. M. hominis proved to be capable of sorbing various cell cultures on the colonies. The sorption depended on the type of the culture. The greatest sorption capacity was possessed by the cells of human origin --FL and HeLa. M. hominis strains under study differed by their capacity to cell sorbtion. The method of cell sorption on the colonies can be suggested for the determination of heterogeneity of the population and of the intrastrain differences in M. hominis.
