    Abstract:
    The quantitative study of microflora in the sputa of 158 patients and the serological analysis of the blood sera of 37 patients with diagnosed acute pneumonia were carried out. The occurrence of S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae in diagnostic titers was, respectively, 55.1% and 5.7% in bacteriological study and 89.2% and 43.2% in serological analysis. The sensitivity of clinical strains to antibacterial preparations varied within a wide range: 99.8% to 58.8% for S. pneumoniae and 90.6% to 56.2% for H. influenzae.
