[Microbiological findings on Vikopres paste after functional impressions of the upper jaw].

The microbiological status and disinfecting effect of Vikopres zinc-oxide eugenol paste was investigated after the functional impression was taken. The examinees were persons with edentulous maxilla (n = 32). The silicon paste of similar viscosity applied in the same persons was used as the control.

[The effect of gammaphos on the course and outcome of surgical treatment in combined radiation injuries in pigs].

The effect of gamaphos (0.6 mmol kg-1 im, 20 min before irradiation) was investigated upon the course and outcome of the surgical management of combined radiation-gunshot injury in pigs. The hypothesis was tested that the infliction of perforating gunshot injury (LD0/30 days) in pigs in the latent phase of the acute radiation injury (LD0/30 days) results in the increase of the lethal outcome.

[Endotoxemia in patients with food poisoning].

In 22 patients with alimentary toxoinfection caused by salmonella and other gram-negative bacteria, endotoxemia was proved in 8 (36%) patients. The causative agent of the disease was proved in 11 (50%) of cases. In 6 (54%) patients the causative agent were from salmonella species: S.

[Analysis of bacterial flora in burn patients].

Bacterial flora of burn wound smears and hemocultures of 25 patients with burns have been followed up and analysed in the period of one year. Pseudomonas auruginosa have been most commonly isolated from burn wound smears, in 406 (5.6%) and Staphylococcus aureus, in 371 (47.

[Serotyping and pyocin typing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a study of intrahospital infections].

Typing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains is the necessary precondition for the study and control of intrahospital infection caused by this microorganism. Since O-serotype is considered to be the basic epidemiological marker we have studied presence and distribution of some O-serotypes of 235 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from 131 patients. The following O-serotypes have been most frequently found: O11 (21%), O6 (18%) and O12 (16%).
