[A method for determining the sensitivity of the causative agents of suppurative infection to iodopiron].

Abstract

Bacterial suspensions of cultures (10(7) PFU) of pathogenic Staphylococcus, vulgar Proteus and pyocyanic bacterium are resistant to 2.9-46.87 mg per disc of iodopyron in 100% of cases. Sensitivity of 32 and 100% of cultures of pyocyanic bacteria (of 25 under study) being in the suspension (10(5) PFU) to 11.71 and 23.43-9.375 mg of idopyron, respectively, in a hole has been established. To determine sensitivity of pyocyanic bacteria to iodopyron it is suggested to use the procedure of adding of 11.71 mg of the preparation (water solution) to the holes in MPA.
