[ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY IN PREMATURE INFANTS, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NEONATAL PERIOD].

This article presents the results of sensitivity/resistance of microbial strains isolated from three biotopes, in premature infants: mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, urinary system and colon after 72 hours after birth, as well as on the 14th and 30th day of life. During the study, total 677 strains of various microorganism species were isolated of which gram-positive flora - 386 microbial strains, almost 1.5 times predominated over gram-negative (291 strains) flora.

[THE MICROBIAL STRUCTURE OF THE MUCOUS MEMBRANE OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACT IN PREMATURE INFANTS].

This article presents the results of a microbiological study of microbial contamination of the respiratory tract mucosa of 124 premature newborns with different gestational age (24-28 and 29-36 weeks) who are in the critical medicine department of LTD "Imedis Clinica", Tbilisi. For the study, modern methods of qualitative and quantitative microbiological analysis were used, as well as the determination of the sensitivity/resistance of the isolated microorganisms to antibiotics using standard disks by the discdiffusion method and the serial dilution method on solid nutrient media, which were performed on newborns for the first 72 hours, on days 14 and 30. In the first 72 hours microbial colonization was established only in 20.
