title: [Effect of low-frequency ultrasound on non-clostridial anaerobic microflora].
abstract: Under analysis is an experience with the treatment of 78 patients with various purulent diseases of soft tissues caused by non-clostridial anaerobic microorganisms in a pure form or in combination with aerobic microflora treated with using low frequency ultrasound. The ultrasound was found not to alter the antimicrobial properties of antibacterial drugs. The degree of bacterial dissemination of the wounds was reliably lower. By the end of the treatment (on the 10-11th days) no growth of microflora was found in 25.7% of the examined patients. The sensitivity of anaerobic microorganisms to antibiotics not only became higher in the process of treatment with ultrasound but there appeared strains sensitive to other antibiotics.
