RESUMO
The changes in cAMP levels in spleen macrophages of mice infected with low-virulent and virulent Salmonella strains and the effect of propranolol on Salmonella reproduction in the spleen, and the outcome of Salmonella-induced infection have been studied. A persistent increase in cAMP levels in spleen macrophages during Salmonella infection caused by virulent Salmonella strains has been demonstrated. Low-virulent Salmonella strains failed to cause the elevation of cAMP levels in spleen macrophages. Propranolol injection to mice prevented intensive Salmonella reproduction in the spleen and diminished the animal mortality rate.

The oral administration of amikacin, ampiox, nystatin to CBA mice and the external treatment of the animals with 1% chlorhexidine solution makes it possible to create the germ-free state in the animals which must be then kept in a sterile box. If such animals receive the decantate of the patient's feces, introduced in a single administration, the microflora, which is subsequently formed in the intestine of the recipient animals, is identical to the donor's microflora. This permits the rapid and accurate determination of the sensitivity of the patient's intestinal microflora to different antimicrobial preparations and their combinations. The antibacterial preparations, effectively suppressing the patient's intestinal anaerobic opportunistic microflora in the intestine of the recipient mice, produce, if subsequently prescribed for treatment, a pronounced corrective effect on such microflora in the patient's intestine.
