title: [Comparative studies of bronchial flora by means of a conventional and a new technic of taking specimens (author's transl)].
abstract: A modification of a method described by LEES and MCNAUGHT for taking of bronchial specimens for bacteriological examination is reported and compared with the usual taking of specimens in a group of 275 patients. Working with the new method the contamination decreased from 55% to 20% of the examined patients. These contaminations in the new method are easy to distinguish from the real settlement of germs to separate. In patients with pyogenic bronchitis a higher percentage of positive bacterial cultures is to be found. The use of this method in hospitals is recommended.
