Abstract:
A simplified control programme for the selective decontamination is proposed. Before the beginning of the attendance a microbial "large scale programme" is applicated in order to determine the quantitative and qualitative composition of the small intestinal and of the large intestinal flora on aerobic and anaerobic cultural conditions. During the attendance a "short-time programme" is applicated. At this on the basis of an aerobic cultural method and by the help of a direct microscopic numeration the flora is determined in its quantitative composition. At the end of an attendance the microbial "large-scale programme" is repeated.
