title: [A method of identifying the species in bacterial infections].
abstract: The authors suggest a fundamentally new method for the diagnosis of a bacterial infection, based on the examination of the neutrophil chemotactic activity towards various species of live bacteria. If the chemotaxis index is less than 1 conditional unit in respect of the tested agent, it indicates the presence of this infection. The method helps improve the accuracy of the examinations, accelerates the identification by 4-40 times as compared to the known technique, permits a correct diagnosis of the associations of agents in a patient, and makes possible to reduce the volume of diagnostic examinations by carrying out purposeful bacteriologic studies.
