[Immune reactivity disorders in poisoning by the pyrethroid sumi-alpha].

After subchronic intoxication with synthetic sumi-alpha pirethroid rats developed pronounced changes of macrophagocytic function; reduction of cell-mediated and humoral immunity, accumulation of pathogenic circulating immune complexes. In these conditions one-week thymalin treatment produced a normalizing effect. Sodium nucleinate was of low efficacy.

[Phosphatase-negative Staphylococcus epidermidis].

As a result of the study of a number of additional characteristics, more than a half of the cultures, formerly identified as phosphatase-negative S. epidermidis according to the scheme of the International Subcommittee on the Taxonomy of Staphylococci and Micrococci, have been shown to be more similar to S. Hominis and S. captis on account of their properties. The study of correlation between the main differentiating characteristics of S. epidermidis has shown that it is poorly pronounced. For this reason the decision to classify a phosphatase-negative culture with S. epidermidis should be based on the study of additional characteristics which differentiate this species not only from S. saprophyticus, but also from other phosphatase-negative staphylococci.

[Species makeup of coagulase-negative staphylococci of clinical origin].

The classification of Kloos--Schleifer was used for the identification of 175 clinical strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci. The species of staphylococci in 50.3% of the cultures were determined; as a result, S. epidermidis and S. saprophyticus were not found to be in the majority among them. The authors concluded that the above-mentioned scheme, as well as its short variant proposed by the International Subcommittee on the Taxonomy of Staphylococci and Micrococci could not be recommended for practical use.
