title: [The use of a method of estimating the count of viable Rickettsia prowazekii for the screening of efficacious antibiotics].
abstract: The possibility of the evaluation of antirickettsial activity of chemopreparations, both in vitro (by the inhibition of hemolytic activity) and in vivo (under the conditions of experimental pulmonary rickettsiosis in mice), with the use of the rapid method for the determination of the number of metabolically active rickettsiae is shown. The proposed approach may be used in the complex of mutually complementary methods for the screening of antirickettsial preparations.
