[Microbiological diagnosis of pyo-inflammatory processes caused by strictly anaerobic microorganisms]

Basing on the literature data and their own findings, the authors have attempted a rational arrangement of the microbiologic diagnosis of anaerobic infections. The precultural and cultural stages of the diagnosis have been singled out. A hypothetic diagnosis is put forward at stage I; it is based on the sum of the clinical symptoms of anaerobic infections and on the microscopy of the native material. During the cultural stage the anaerobe colonies indication is performed in the primary inoculation dish by the technique developed by the authors; preliminary identification of the colonies is made here too. Then the obtained subcultures are finally identified according to relevant schemes and to a table with the differentiating markers. The suggested scheme accelerates and simplifies the laboratory diagnosis of anaerobic infections.
