[Diagnostic suspension for detection of the infective agent of tularemia].
The matrix for obtaining silica-based diagnosticum was selected, its activation with surfactant was optimized and its immobilization with tularemia immunoglobulins was carried out. In the glass suspension agglutination test (SAT) the sensitivity of the diagnosticum was 3.125 x 10(6) to 6.25 x 10(6) microbial cells per ml; the duration of SAT, including the evaluation of its results, was 1-5 minutes.
