title: [Use of the neutralization test for mass population studies].
abstract: The authors applied the antibody neutralization test (ANT) for detection of causative agent of intestinal infections in feces of healthy population in Turkmenia. Some part of the material was studied in parallel with the aid of the ANT and by the bacteriological method. As a result of comparison it appeared that in using the ANT causative agents of intestinal infections were revealed much more frequently than by the bacteriological method; in this connection this serological method can be recommended as an auxiliary one for the diagnosis of intestinal infections.
