[Study of sensitivity of microflora isolated from biosubstrates of surgical profile patients to bacteriophage].

Aim: Study sensitivity of nosocomial microbes--causative agents of post-operative infectious complications in surgical profile patients to bacteriophages.

Materials And Methods: Microbe isolates from biosubstrates of 223 surgical patients served as material. Microbes were isolated from blood, urine, wounds, intravascular catheters, abdominal cavity drainage, discharge of pharynx, trachea (343 strains).

[Persistence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains in patients of Federal Scientific Center of Transplantology and Artificial Organs].

Aim: Study genetic diversity of P. aeruginosa strains persisting in patients of Federal Scientific Center of Transplantology and Artificial Organs, and main factors facilitating persistence of strains in the hospital.

Materials And Methods: 136 P.

[Genotypic features of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains circulating in surgical hospital].

Aim: To study genetic diversity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains circulating in intensive care unit (ICU), to determine the source of these strains and duration of circulation of epidemically-significant clone in the hospital.

Materials And Methods: Genotyping of 106 P. aeruginosa strains isolated from patients, clinical specimens and fomites was performed by random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis with oligonucleotide primer Sh1 of 10 bp long.

[Transposition of autologous cultivated bone marrow cells promotes prevention and treatment of immunodependent complications in cardiosurgical patients].

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been made in two groups of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) with further estimation of the rate of postoperative organic dysfunctions and pyoseptic complications. In group 1 (n = 50) CABG was combined with intracoronary or intramyocardial injection of autologous precultivated for 7-8 days mononuclear cells of the bone marrow (1 x 10(9) cells). In group 2 (n = 479) the intraoperative injection of the above cells was not made.

[Enterococci as a cause of infectious complications after surgery].

Self-obtained data about study of enterococci as etiologic agents of infectious complications after cardiovascular and transplantation surgery are presented in the article. 465 strains of enterococci were isolated from different biosubstrates. Isolation rate of different species of enterococci in blood, urine, fromwounds, trachea, cardiacvalves, as well as in the environment and on wear of healthcare workers were determined.
