title: [Effect of carbon dioxide laser on Mycobacterium tuberculosis and microflora].
abstract: The effect of CO2 laser on M. tuberculosis (MT) and nonspecific micro-organisms has been studied. Radiation of MT in suspension causes a decrease in the number of colonies. Laser action on MT and microflora after their growing in a solid nutrient media produces a bactericidal action in the exposed zone with the area of growth inhibition being in a direct proportion to the laser power and the time of its action.
