[Ecological diagnosis of pyoseptic diseases in newborns using the "Diastaph" disc].
The etiological spectrum of pyoseptic diseases was studied in 113 newborns. It was established, that between 187 strains of microorganisms, belonging to 19 species, 73.3% were staphylococci and streptococci, 25.1%--Enterobacteriaceae, 1.6%--Candida albicans. Mixed infection, caused by association of 2-5 Gram-positive and (or) Gram-negative microorganisms, was marked in 51.3% of newborns. In cases of mono-infection (42.5%) staphylococci and streptococci were leading etiological agents. The possibility of generic identification of staphylococci using the diagnostic disks "Diastaph" which contain a new antibiotic batumin has been studied. All the isolated staphylococci strains were highly sensitive to batumin in contrast to other Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms that caused pyodermia in newborns.
