Abstract
The influence ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae var.vini viable cells on theStaphylococcus aureus-suffering mice was ascertained: (1) effect ofS. aureus living cells on antibacterial and antitoxic antibodies, (2) effect ofS. aureus on the number of neurons and macroglial cells in different areas of mouse hippocampus, (3) effect ofS. cerevisiae var.vini viable cells on the above-mentioned changes of immune and nervous system. Treatment withS. cerevisiae var.vini provokes immune stimulation and change of the total number of macroglial elements in the CA1 field of hippocampus.
