ON THE PROPERTIES AND TECHNIQUE OF OBTAINING THE STREPTOCOCCUS AEROSOL IN EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS

Abstract

CONCLUSIONS: An experimental model of a kinetically stable aerosol of beta-hemolytic streptococcus was obtained. Blood serum and gelatin had a protective effect on beta-hemolytic streptococcus in the experimental aerosol. A low temperature (4 degrees) aided the survival of beta-hemolytic streptococcus in the experimental aerosol. Viability of beta-hemolytic streptococcus, 'protected' by gelatin in Ringer-Locke's liquid, in the bacterial cloud did not depend on the relative humidity of air.
