The study of the immunostimulating potency of the staphylococcal antigenic complex obtained from different strains by aqueous extraction indicated that the preparations obtained from highly virulent strains showed the lowest potency after challenge with both homologous and heterologous strains. The preparations obtained from strains with low virulence stimulated resistance to highly virulent strains to a greater extent than the preparations from the same virulent strain which was used for challenge. The necessity of revising the requirements to strains used for the production of antibacterial staphylococcal preparations is substantiated.
