title: [Efficiency of the influenza A and B viruses isolation from nasopharyngeal swabs taken in the test tubes Sigma-Virocult (M40 Compliant, Sigma Virocult) and Virocult (M40 Compliant, Virocult) in 2010-2011 epidemic season].
abstract: The goal of this work was to compare the efficiency of the influenza A and B viruses Isolated during 2010-2011 epidemic season. The clinical samples were taken in the test tubes with the transport medium on the.basis of the medium EMEM and commercial test tubes Sigma-Virocult (M40 Compliant, Sigma Virocult) and Virocult (M40 Compliant, Virocult). The results of this work demonstrated higher efficiency of influenza A and B viruses isolation from nasopharyngeal swabs of the patients taken in the test tubes Sigma-Virocult (M40 Compliant, Sigma Virocult) and Virocult (M40 Compliant, Virocult) with the transport medium as compared with the efficiency of influenza strains isolation from nasopharyngeal swabs taken in test tubes with the medium EMEM with respect to all estimated indicators: efficiency of isolation, a passage of isolation and the titer of isolates. The possibility of the long-term storage of a clinical material at room temperature and at 4 degrees C was confirmed, without resorting to freezing, which is significant in the absence of the necessary equipment.
