[Quantitative assessment of EB strain cell death in an aerosol and following rehydration]

The authors assessed quantitatively inactivation of lyophilized cells of EB strain by the action of aerosol stress and rehydration using the method of bacterial nucleoide staining. With the advance of dust aerosol "ages" microbial sensitivity to rehydration increased and to the action of aerosol stress--decreased. The method can be used to calculate the aspiration dose in aerogenic vaccination and also to assess the efficacy of lyophilized bacteria restoration.
