[Changes in the microflora of the suppurative cavities resulting from the treatment of acute bacterial destruction of the lungs].

The results of complex bacteriologic examination of 62 patients with acute bacterial destruction of the lungs during the process of treatment were analysed. The complex of investigations included the express methods (bacterioscopy, studies in the ultraviolet light, chromatography-mass spectrometry), inoculation under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. A role of anaerobic non-clostridial infection in the development of acute pulmonary destruction, polymicrobial character of microflora are shown. It was established that complex conservative therapy with inclusion of the methods for drainage of the cavities of destruction, prolonged intraarterial infusion, aimed antibacterial therapy permitted to achieve rapid suppression of microflora, its anaerobic component in particular. In chronization of the disease, the gram-negative aerobic flora is playing the leading part in its pathogenesis.
