EARLY DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE FOR SEXUALLY-TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS CAUSED BY OPPORTUNISTIC MICROFLORA Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC C12Q1/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: early diagnostic technique for sexually-transmitted infections involves sampling from a cow's cervical canal in 50-60 postpartum days within the preparation for insemination; inoculation of meat infusion agar with added 5% sheep erythrocytes, of yolk-saline agar, Endo medium, Ploskirev's medium, Enterococcus agar, Saburaud medium, and Zeisler agar with the latter to be incubated in an anaerobic culture apparatus. It is combined with inoculation of liquid high-column Blikfeldt medium and Bifidus medium, sugar broth. The inoculations are grown at temperature 37°C within a period optimal for each microorganism to be detected. The smears are Gram stained to identify the detected cultures by conventional techniques.

EFFECT: technique enables early diagnosis of the sexually-transmitted infections caused by opportunistic microflora, prevention of aborts, reproductive disorders, and well-timed prevention and treatment.
