Abstrakt: A model of virus-bacterial infection involving A (PR-8/34) influenza virus and group B streptococcus is proposed to demonstrate the cyclic manifestations of fatal synergism of the causative agents correlating with either the cyclic detection of influenza virus antigens in the infection focus on administration of avirulent streptococcal Fos4 strain, or with the time-course of activity shown by natural killers on administration of virulent streptococcal Fos8 strain. Based on the presented data on the cyclic character of fatalities, whose dynamics varies only slightly with the biological properties of the second agent, a conclusion has been derived on (1) the simultaneous influence of various factors in the formation of the mechanisms of infection transformation, (2) the capability of the cell receptor apparatus to respond to an external stimulus which is the most important of these mechanisms, and (3) the effects of the biological properties of the causative agents on the fatal effect manifestations.
