[Determination of the sensitivity to antibacterial preparations of the microflora in the sputum of patients with nonspecific lung diseases].
Nonspecific pulmonary diseases (NPD) of infectious etiology often complicate and aggravate the course of various somatic diseases. Isolation, identification, and assessment of the drug sensitivities of the agents are obligatory for effective therapy. The sputum is the most frequent object of microbiologic investigation. Such investigation is fruitful if the sputum is properly collected and the quantitative method is used for inoculation in a set of nutrient media, that provide the maximum growth of the agents. A correct estimation of the role of isolated bacteria in the infectious process involves additional studies of their biological characteristics and clinical interpretation of the findings. Assessment of antibiotic sensitivity provides the most valuable information for a clinician, but these data are clinically useful only if referred to the agent and not to the contaminating flora.
