New methods for microbial contamination monitoring: an experiment on board the MIR orbital station.

Experiment T2, carried out during the Euromir'95 mission, was an important step toward innovative methods for spacecraft microbial contamination monitoring. A new standard sampling technique permitted samples to be analysed by different means. On board, two analysis methods were tested in parallel: Bioluminescence and Miniculture. In turn, downloaded samples are being analysed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a powerful and promising method for the rapid detection, identification and quantification of pathogens and biofouling agents in closed manned habitats.

[The anti-tetanus serumprophylaxis (author's transl)].

The antitoxin titre against tetanus toxin has been evaluated in wounded subjects before and 24 after anti-tetanus serumprophylaxis by passive haemagglutination. Treatment with digested heterologous antiserum (3000-6000 I.U.) or with human hyperimmune immunoglobulins does not modify preexisting antitoxin titre. Serum negative subjects remain as such.
