[Current methods for the laboratory diagnosis of infections caused by asporogenous anaerobic bacteria].

Nonsporulating anaerobes, the predominant representatives of normal human microflora, are most frequently isolated from the pathological material collected in patients with pyoinflammatory diseases developing in the presence of lowered immune status. The authors discuss the methods of laboratory diagnosis of nonsporulating anaerobic bacteria, analyze a complex of problems arising during work with these microorganisms, and pay special attention to rapid methods of diagnosis.
