METHOD OF INDICATING HOSPITAL STRAINS OF P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, E.cloacae Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC C12Q1/24 C12N1/20 C12R1/185 C12R1/385 C12R1/445 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: method of indicating hospital strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter cloacae involves identification of an isolated pure culture of bacteria, inoculating the identified bacteria on blood-meat infusion agar while washing accumulated bacteria - S.aureus - after 12 hours, and Exloacae and P.aeruginosa - after 8 hours with sodium chloride solution. Electrical resistance of the suspension of bacteria in the sodium chloride solution is determined at bacteria concentration of 500000 in 1 ml in a dc electric field with 2.8 V across the electrodes. If electrical resistance for P.aeruginosa bacteria ranges from 579 to 674 kom, S.aureus 545-642 kom, Exloacae 452-584 kom and epidemiological data on recording five or more disease cases from one infection source, the isolated infectious agent is considered a hospital strain.

EFFECT: invention cuts time for conducting laboratory investigations and detecting circulation of hospital strains in hospitals, use of the invention does not require intraspecific identification of bacteria.
