title: [Microflora and its antibiotic sensitivity in chronic pharyngitis treated by cryotherapy].
abstract: Antibiotic sensitivity of the pharynx mucosa microflora in patients with chronic pharyngitis subjected to cryotherapy was studied. Examination of 36 patients showed that cryotherapy at a temperature of -1950 markedly decreased the number of the grown colonies, their qualitative characteristics being changed. In 10 days both the quantitative and the qualitative characteristics of the flora completely reduced. The cryotherapy did not change the virulence of the flora and its sensitivity to antibiotics.
