title: [The lysoamidase cleaning of the nasal and throat mucosa and hands of S. aureus carriers].
abstract: A combined method has been devised of treatment of those harboring Staphylococcus aureus, using lysoamidase and myramistin. Nasopharyngeal mucosa is irrigated with buffered solution of lysoamidase from an atomizing device, the skin of the hands is treated with 0.01% solution of myramistin. A total of 138 persons have been sanitized, among whom 70 were of the medical staff of the obstetric gynecologic in-patient department, 16 doctors and nurses from the surgery department, 22 students and pedagogues from the medical institute, 30 workers of the engineering plant. The suggested method ensures efficient elimination of Staphylococcus aureus from all three biotypes in different groups for time ranges of 15 to 30 days. It can be used at health care institutions for sanitation of medical personnel, and at engineering plants in prophylaxis of purulent diseases of the hands and fingers in those workers having sustained a minor injury related to work at the plant.
