title: Possibility of microorganism elimination from the blood using modified coal hemosorbents.
abstract: We studied the possibility of using coal hemosorbents for elimination gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms from the blood. After hemosorption, the number of S. aureus and K. pneumoniae pneumoniae colony-forming units significantly decreased. The obtained results indicate that coal sorbents can bind and probably eliminate gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria from the blood.
