title: [The use of bacteriological analysis of the blood in the diagnosis of death by drowning].
abstract: Investigation of blood samples from the femoral vein of subjects drowned in water and died of other causes (control) was carried out. Penetration of microflora contained in water into the bloodflow of the drowned people was shown. Possibility of using bacteriologic analysis of the postmortal blood to diagnose death from drowning was stated. Ps. putida and Ps. fluorescens. that were not present in the blood of persons who had died of causes other than drowning were recommended as test bacteria. Selective media and methods to isolate the bacteria from the cadaveric blood were chosen.
