METHOD OF PREDICTION OF CLINICAL OUTCOME OF REACTIVE AND INFECTIOUS ARTHRITIS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC C12Q1/02 

FIELD: biotechnology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to biotechnology and can be used for prediction of the favorable or unfavorable outcome of infectious and reactive arthritis. Method envisages fecal collecting in the patient for bacteriological examination on microflora after completing the course of antibacterial therapy. Carry out sowing faeces at a dilution of 10^-5 on a Petri dish with 1.5 % GRM-agar and antibacterial preparation, used in treating the given patient, in minimum inhibitory concentration in the range of stability, with followed incubation and counting grown on the cup colonies of microorganisms. Thus when the content of colonies in an amount of less than 5,000 CFU/g predict the favorable outcome of arthritis. At content of colonies in an amount equal or larger than 5,000 CFU/g, predict the unfavorable outcome of arthritis.

EFFECT: invention allows to simplify the method for prediction of the favorable or unfavorable outcome of reactive and infectious arthritis.
