As before, the infections of blood flow remain actual because of absence of universal approaches to their diagnostic and high lethality. Taking into account the fact that most frequently the sepsisogenic strains are selected in blood, studying of biological characteristics of hemocultures in comparison with strains isolated from other biotopes is very important for understanding the mechanisms of survival of pathogens in blood and prognosis development of septic complications. The article presents the results of microbiological analysis of blood carried out in multi-field clinic of Khanti-Mansiisk during 2007-2015. The following biological characteristics of S.aureus, E.coli, P.aeruginosa, C.albicans: hemolytic, catalase, anti-lysozyme, anti-complementary, biofilm forming, activity of hemocultures and strains isolated from other biotopes. The detection of hemolytic, catalase, anti-lysozyme, anti-complementary activities was implemented using photo-metric technique by capacity to lyse/inactivate corresponding substrate. The biofilm forming activity was evaluated according alteration of contact angle of moistening of surface of biofilm. The priority pathogens of infections of blood stream are coagulase-positive staphylococci - 38.3% (S.aureus), coagulase-negative staphylococci (S.epidermidis, S.hominis etc.), enterobacteria - 12.3% (E.coli, K.pneumonia), Pseudomonas aeruginosa - 4.1%, among fungi - C.albicans (2.5%). It is demonstrated that, in comparison with strains isolated from other biotops, hemocultures have statistically reliable higher values of catalase, anti-lysozyme, anti-complementary, biofilm forming activities. The conclusion is made concerning significance of these biological characteristics of pathogens for their survival in blood. It is proposed to use these indices as markers of sepsisogenic strains in prognosis of generalization of inflectional process.
