[Clinical trials of salmonella enrichment medium.].

Salmonella infections continue to be a serious problem in modern medicine. Being intestinal infections-associated pathogens, representatives of the genus Salmonella manifest themselves as pathogenic bacteria, especially in developing nosocomial infections. Given the polymorphism of clinical symptoms of salmonellosis, laboratory studies using bacteriological and serological methods are an important link in the diagnosis.

[The clinical trials of agar and Mossel EE broth.].

The cultural diagnostic of acute intestinal infections is based on application of growth medium for selective cumulation of enterobacteria. The development of composition and technology of production of national import-substituting growth medium is an important task for supporting laboratories with high quality medical products. In the state research center of applied microbiology and biotechnology are developed and registered in established procedure a dry growth medium for selective cumulation of enterobacteria (Mossel EE broth) and dry growth medium for selective isolation and counting of enterobacteria (Mossel agar).

[Development and use of a new growth medium for detection and identification of sanitary-indicative microorganisms].

Threat of emergence and spreading of dangerous intestinal infections determines the necessity to control for water quality in its sources in respect of sanitary-indicative microorganisms, thermo-tolerant coliforms and lactose-negative intestinal bacilli testifying fecal pollution. Standard techniques for isolation of enterobacteria are based on use of lactose-containing inhibitory and non-inhibitory growth media such as lactase-peptone and Kessler media. Development of standard, effective, and reliable for use in laboratory conditions accumulation medium for detection of enterobacteria aimed to increase reliability of sanitary-bacteriological monitoring of objects of aquatic environment.
