["Dermomedium" test for evaluation of microorganism count from utilizable surfaces and skin].

The study was aimed at determination of usefulness of a set "dip-Slide" for quantitative evaluation of bacterial contamination of skin and utilizable surfaces in comparison with traditional methods of taking smears. Investigation were carried on by application of test strains of E. coli, P. aeruginosa, P. mirabilis, Enterobacter sp. and S. aureus. It was established that application of the set "Dermomedium" brings results comparable to traditional methods, but is cheaper and easier in practice.
