[Analysis of results of certification of bacteriologists in Georgia and the ways of its optimization].

Analysis of the certification of bacteriologists in Georgia (234 specialists) has shown that 164 specialists (90-100%) passed the certificate examination with high and excellent scores. It indicates to the importance of expansion of test-questionnaires as well as their complication by 8.8%-9.

[Sensitivity and resistance of aerobic bacteria isolated from patients with periodontitis towards antibiotics and bacteriophages (comparative analysis)].

In order to examine sensitivity and resistance of isolated aerobic bacteria from periodontitis materials towards antibiotics and bacteriophages, there has been studied exudations taken from 737 patients' periodontic pockets or the tissue taken from curettage. According to the rate of identified microorganisms, they have been arranged as follows: S. epidermidis 39,34+/-1,56%; S.

Immune status during fracture of lower jaw.

Immune status during fracture of lower jaw is a very important factor of pathogenesis. Immune depression is developing shortly after the trauma and it turns out to be a bad prognostic sign, during which the risk of developing the bone wound complications and traumatic osteomyelitis increase, and in case of absence of such complications we are faced with significant extension of a term of healing of bone wounds. We have carried out immune studies in 20 patients with lower jaw fractures.

The method of melanocytes isolation.

To judge the therapeutic value and evaluate the mechanism of action of this specific transplantation procedure we have performed an isolation of the melanocytes in experiment on the hens. The black hens (n=5), 3-5 kg of body weight were used in experimental study. Hens were housed in standard laboratory conditions under 12-hr day-night cycles with provision of pelleted diet and water ad libitum.

Immune status during odontogeneous abscesses and phlegmonas.

Odontogeneous abscesses and phlegmonas are considered as one of the most urgent problems for stomatology. By its localization and complications the patients suffering from this pathology clearly show weakening of protective mechanisms of organism. By the use of modern methods of immunologic research we studied the nonspecific, cell, humoral and specific immune status.
