title: [Biological properties of microorganisms as the basis for the prognosis of the severity of pyoinflammatory pleuropulmonary diseases].
abstract: In the study of 65 microbial cultures isolated from the purulent foci in acute pulmonary abscess and acute pyothorax of 48 patients, a wide spectrum of microflora was detected. Staphylococci and Pseudomonas prevailed among aerobes, bacteroids and peptostreptococci--among anaerobes. In cases of the prolonged course of the pathological process, as compared with the common one, microorganisms exhibited hemolytic activity and high antilysozyme and anticomplementary levels. These findings served as the basis for working out a mathematical model for the prognosis of the disease course with 95% probability.
