[Method of determination of Salmonella and Yersinia antigens adsorbed on on the surface of erythrocytes of the patients]. / Sposob opredeleniia antigenov sal'monell i iersinii, adsorbirovannykh na poverkhnosti éritrotsitov bol'nykh.

The method is based on the fact that patients' red cells with the specific antigens adsorbed on their surface, interacting with the specific antibodies, enter the hemagglutination reaction. 8% red cell suspension with diluted commercial sera hyperimmune to Salmonellae and Yersinia, serovars O3 and O9, are used in the test. The hemagglutination test was found sufficiently specific and sensitive for the detection of even the lowest concentrations of the specific antigen on the surface of red cell membranes in the patients with salmonellosis and yersiniosis.

[A new approach to selecting antibacterial preparations for treating patients with chronic urological infections]. / Novyi podkhod k podboru antibakterial'nykh preparatov dlia lecheniia bol'nykh khronicheskimi urologicheskimi infektsiiami.

The oral administration of microflora, isolated from the urinary tract or feces of urological patients, into the abacterial digestive tract of mice kept under the conditions of germ-free environment leads to the formation of the donors' microflora in the intestine of the recipient animals. Such recipient mice can be used as models for the rapid and highly reliable determination of the sensitivity of microflora in the patient's intestine and urinary tract to different antimicrobial preparations. In different patients such microflora, though similar in its qualitative and quantitative composition, differs in sensitivity to different antimicrobial preparations and their combinations. For the effective treatment of patients with chronic urinary tract infections a preliminary in vivo determination of the sensitivity of intestinal and urinary microflora to different combinations of antimicrobial preparations, carried out with the use of germ-free techniques, is necessary.
