title: [Drop method of determining micrococcal and staphylococcal sensitivity to egg lysozyme].
abstract: Two methods for determination of staphylococcal and micrococcal sensitivity to lysozyme, i.e. the method of serial dilutions in agar and the drop method developed by the authors were compared. The drop method is a modification of the procedure described by Kloos et al. Close correlation between these two methods (r = 0.97 +/- 0.018) was found. The regression curve providing determination of the lysozyme MIC with the drop method was plotted. The drop method is more simple and economical as compared to the method of serial dilutions in agar. It has an advantage in testing sensitivity of single strains.
