Methods for the rapid and immediate determination of the anti-interferon activity of bacteria have been developed. The use of these methods makes it possible to reduce the time of determination from 48 hours to 24 and 7 hours. The proposed methods require no additional production costs, while their sensitivity and specificity are not inferior to those ensured by the classical method. These methods are recommended for the etiological diagnosis of diseases caused by opportunistic enterobacteria.
