title: [A methods of processing and microbiological study of sputum].
abstract: In the submitted paper the author discusses quantitative and qualitative methods of examination of sputum, using different reagents for blending and lysis of sputum. The micromodification of Dixon-Miller's method is most effective from the economic aspect and as regards quality of the examination. The dilution method makes it possible, using selective media, to complete the whole examination in a shorter time without using special equipment for cultivation and assessment of sensitivity to antibiotics in ordinary microbiological field laboratories.
