The authors have examined about 100 patients of the surgical department and studied biological properties and virulence of 40 staphylococcus strains and 10 blue-pus bacillus strains. The data obtained evidence that the incidence of the virulence factors in the staphylococcal strains isolated from the pathological material has grown, the number of strains possessing the hemolytic and plasmocoagulase activity as well as the property to produce pigment being increased. Changes in the biological properties of microorganisms are, probably, induced by the chemotherapeutic action of drugs and, first of all, of antibiotics, that may be used when elaborating up-to-date methods for treatment of pyo-inflammatory diseases.
