[Circulation of porcine enteroviruses and determination of their antigenic relations with human enteroviruses]. / Tsyrkuliatsiia enterovirusiv svynei ta vyznachennia ïkh antyhennykh zv'iazkiv z enterovirusamy liudyny.

Strains of porcine enteroviruses (PEV) (n = 50), have been isolated from different animal species and environment objects: from pigs--19, mice--16, cats--3, rabbits--3, poultry--2, from objects of cattle-breeding premises--7. This testifies to PEV capacity to reproduction in the organism of hosts which are not characteristic of them. Some PEV strains cause cytopathogenic effect in human cell culture. No antigenic relations between 16 investigated strains of porcine enteroviruses and polimyelitis viruses of serotypes 1-3 and Coxsackie B5 were established.

[The development of a coagglutination reaction using staphylococcal peptidoglycan for the diagnosis of staphylococcal infection]. / Razrobka reaktsiï koahliutynatsiï z vykorystanniam stafilokokovoho peptydohlikanu dlia diahnostyky stafilokokovoï infektsiï.

Our objective in this study was to develop and assess the diagnostic value of a coagglutination test with making use of peptidoglycane of Staphylococcus aureus in the identification of diseases of staphylococcal etiology. A total of 166 patients with diseases of staphylococcal etiology were examined. A test was elaborated of coagglutination with making use of peptidoglycane of Staphylococcus aureus for a differential identification of antibodies to peptidoglycan in healthy persons and patients with staphylococcosis.
