title: [Use of the VShS elective-differential medium in the diagnosis of dysentery and other acute intestinal infections].
abstract: Results of trial of the VShS medium under conditions of direct seeding feces of patients suffering from dysentery and other acute intestinal disturbances demonstrated that by the efficacy of Sh. sonnei isolation it failed to differ from Ploskirev's bactoagar, was less effective in comparison with Levin's medium with levomycetin (the incidence of Shigella isolation was 49.7, 52.6 and 60.3%, respectively) and was the most effective in Sh. newcastle isolation. In seeding feces after their enrichment in selenite broth the VShS medium proved to be much more effective than Ploskirev's bactoagar by the incidence of isolation of Shigellae (90 and 65.7%).
