Riassunto

Gli Autori hanno preso in esame, mediante il microscopio a contrasto di fase interferenziale, le modificazioni della superficie cellulare indotte dalla tossina alfa-stafilococcica in colture di cellule HEp-2. La tossina causa rapidamente collasso della membrana, seguito da rottura della membrana stessa. Vengono discussi i rapporti fra questi aspetti morfologici e le lesioni biochimiche indotte dalla tossina.
