Abstract:
The adhesive properties of bacteria of the genus Bacillus as the components of biopreparation for gynecological practice have been studied using erythrocytes as a model of the macroorganism cells. The average level of adhesion of the Bacillus genus bacteria has been established. High degree of adhesion has been manifested only by the strains of bacteria of the Lactobacillus genus, being promising for the creation of biopreparation. Study of the effect of conditionally pathogenic microorganisms on adhesive properties of bacteria of the Bacillus genus has demonstrated the absence of changes in the level of adhesion of bacilli in 48% of mixed populations.

Prokaryotic Cells
Like eukaryotic cells, all prokaryotic cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane, have genetic material in the form of single, circular DNA, a cytoplasm that fills the interior of the cell, and ribosomes that synthesize proteins.
