    Abstract:
    Microflora of pathological biosubstrates from 25 patients aged from 18 to 41 years with criminal abortion complications such as sepsis, septic shock, septicemia, and septic pyemia, peritonitis and endometritis of various severity was studied. Obligate anaerobic organisms in association with facultative anaerobes were detected in 84 per cent of the patients. Bacteroids were isolated from operation materials of 36 per cent of the patients. Bacteroids in association with Staphylococcus aureus, peptostreptococci and enterococci were recorded in 16, 8 and 24 per cent of the patients, respectively. Composition of the anaerobic and facultative anaerobic microflora was analyzed in the patients with local and general infections. Antibiotic sensitivity assay of the bacteroids showed that rifampicin, metronidazole, levomycetin (chloramphenicol) and clindamycin were the most active drugs. The use of anaerobic techniques enabled to demonstrate that in patients with purulent septic complications of criminal abortion there prevailed anaerobic-aerobic associations. The results should be considered in treatment of gynecological patients with purulent septic infections.
