title: [The role of the adhesive activity of staphylococci in the development of suppurative-septic diseases in traumatology and orthopedics].
abstract: The authors studied the adhesive activity of clinical staphylococcal strains on a model of human erythrocytes and determined two indices: the percentage of erythrocytes participating in adhesion and the average number of staphylococci adhering to one erythrocyte. These two indices were found to be directly related to each other. The adhesive activity of epidermal staphylococcus was found to be identical to that of Staphylococcus aureus, 62.6 +/- 2.5 and 65.1 +/- 3.0%, respectively. Irregular distribution of the adhesion indices of both types was encountered, however. In Staphylococcus aureus they were in the range of 53.4-89.5% while in the epidermal staphylococcus the distribution of the adhesive indices was beyond this range. Such a variety of indices determines the clinical picture of the pathological process caused by the epidermal staphylococcus. No relationship was noted between the adhesion indices and staphylococcal antibiotic resistance.
