METHOD FOR DETERMINING ANTIBACTERIAL RESISTANCE OF HUMAN BODY Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G01N33/49 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention describes a method for determining antibacterial resistance of a human body in diseases caused by a staphylococcus infection, based on blood neutrophil analysis; functional activity of neutrophilic granulocytes of patient's peripheral blood is determined by chemoluminescence with calculating a bacterial activation index (the BAI-index) of neutrophils representing the relation of an area under a curve of neutrophilic granulocyte chemoluminescence induced by Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria to an area under a curve of spontaneous neutrophilic granulocyte chemoluminescence, and if the derived value is less than 1.47, a high level of antibacterial resistance is stated, while the derived values 1.47 and more shows a low level of antibacterial body resistance.

EFFECT: method is informative, precise, complies with the modern requirements for laboratory diagnostic techniques and allows predicting a nature, a clinical course period and bacterial complications in the patients of various groups.
