Ciliary membrane alterations occurring in experimental Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection

JL Carson, AM Collier, and WA Clyde Jr

Experimental infection of hamster ciliated tracheal epithelium in organ culture with virulent Mycoplasma pneumoniae resulted in the deterioration o ciliary necklaces and an altered distribution of membrane-associated particles on the shafts of the affected cilia. To our knowledge that is the first report of an altered disposition of ciliary membrane-associated particles in response to a specific infectious agent.
