[The effect of phospholipids on the adhesive properties of bacteria].

The present work shows that choline-containing phospholipids (lysophosphatidylcholine and lyso-1-alkyl-sn-glycerophosphocholine) inhibit the adhesion of some strains: Bacterium bifidum 1, B. adolescentis MC-42, B. longum B. 379M, Staphylococcus aureus P 209 and Klebsiella pneumoniae 52. Phosphatidylcholine produces no effect on the adhesiveness of these strains, while platelet activation factor stimulates adhesiveness only in strain S. aureus 209. The stimulating or inhibiting action of phospholipids on the adhesive process of microorganisms depends on the species of bacteria and on the concentration of reagents.

Bacterial Adhesion

[A nutrient medium for isolating Lactobacilli].

The composition of and method for preparation of nutrient medium for the isolation of Lactobacilli from biologic material are described. The medium is simple to prepare, consists of only Soviet reagents, this making it available for laboratories in this country.

[A method of determining the effect of breast milk on the adhesive properties of microorganisms].

The authors have modified the method for studies of the microorganism adhesive properties in the presence of breast milk; this modification is based on the ability of bacterial cells to adhere to the surface of human red cells of I (0) Rh (+) blood group. The study has revealed significant differences in the adhesion characteristics of S. aureus 209, B. bifidum I, and B. adolescentis MC-42 strains in the presence of breast milk of women with normal babies and of those whose babies suffered from intestinal dysfunctions.

[Creating the optimal microecology of the intestines in premature newborn infants with the sour-milk mixture "biphilin"].

The paper is concerned with formation of intestinal biocenosis in premature infants and with approaches to the correction of its disorders with the aid of biphilin, a special mixture prepared from sour milk. Ninety newborns showed the derangement of biocenosis of various intensity by the 6th to the 10th day of life. Application of biphilin for 2 to 6 weeks as part of the multimodality treatment of such children made the intestinal microflora return to normal.

[The suppuration of surgical wounds].

An analysis of wound complications in 699 patients after operation has been made. Microbiological examinations of the wound exudate have shown that the content of "seromas" and "hematomas" is infected with aerobic and anaerobic nonsporulating microflora in 80% of the cases. "Seromas" and "hematomas" were proved to be typical cases of suppuration of operative wounds.

Abdomen

[Microbiological evaluation of the methods of preventing suppuration of surgical wounds].

Contamination of the operative wounds with aerobic and nonsporulating anaerobic microflora is known to take place in the process of operation. Lower degree of the contamination of the operative wounds by the end of operations results in lower incidence of suppurations. It can be achieved in pure and conventionally pure operations of a less traumatic character by the application of preoperative gentamycin electrophoresis onto the operation field, while in conventionally pure operations of great traumatism and contaminated operations--by active irrigating drainage.
