METHOD FOR DIFFERENTIATING HUMAN OLFACTORY MUCOSA STAPHYLOCOCCUS MICROFLORA Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C12Q1/04 

FIELD: medicinal microbiology.

SUBSTANCE: method involves isolation of staphylococcus pure cultures from olfactory mucosa microflora, their identification and capacity of pure culture for inactivating natural dipeptide carnosine is determined. Microorganism S. aureus is related to normal human olfactory mucosa microflora that is not able for activating carnosine (anti-carnosine activity - ACaA), and other species of staphylococci possessing ACaA in the level of expression of this feature 0.7 mcg/ml or less. Also, S. aureus showing the expression level of ACaA above zero is related also, and other species of staphylococci in the expression level of this feature above 0.7 mcg/ml. Invention provides the information content in assay of the presence and expression level of ACaA in staphylococci. Invention can be used in practice work of bacteriology laboratories for differentiation of human olfactory mucosa microflora for normal staphylococcus microflora and staphylococcus microflora able to induce development of local suppurative-inflammatory diseases.

EFFECT: improved method of differentiation of microflora.
