The microbiological characteristics of soft-tissue surgical infection

The dynamic study of microflora in the foci of surgical infection of soft tissues was made. In 45 patients the course of the infectious process was characterized by the change of causative agents in the course of the disease. As established in this study the frequency of changes in the species composition of microflora in the foci of surgical infection in the course of the disease directly correlated with the occurrence of purulent septic complications requiring repeated surgical intervention. Changes in the species composition of causative agents should be regarded as their adaptation to the anti-infectious protection of the body, which is one of the regulatory mechanisms of the parasitic system.
