Kolicinotipirovanie

Colicinotyping is a method for determining the sensitivity spectrum of intestinal bacteria (bacteria that live in the human intestines) to various colicins. Colicins are proteins that are produced by bacteria and can kill other bacteria. Colicinotyping is used for epidemiological analysis of intestinal infections, as it allows us to determine which bacteria cause the infection and which drugs may be effective against them.

To carry out colicinotyping, a sample of a bacterial culture is inoculated on a special medium containing various amounts of colicins. It is then determined which of these bacteria survive and grow on the medium and which die. This allows us to determine the spectrum of sensitivity of bacteria to colicins and select the most effective drugs to treat the infection.

Colicinotyping is widely used in medicine and can be a useful tool in the diagnosis and treatment of intestinal infections. However, like any other method, it has its limitations and requires more research to improve accuracy and efficiency.



Colicinotyping is a procedure for determining the spectrum of sensitivity (antimicrobial activity) of strains of intestinal pathogens (Salmonella, Shigella, Eberthella, Vibrio, Campylobacter, etc.) to various variants (subtypes) of a polyvalent polymicrobial lytic substance (colicin). Colicins are substances of bacterial origin produced by representatives of conditional pathogens. Bacteriological research methods are used. The study determines the intestinal microbial flora in patients treated with antibacterial drugs. Colicinotyping is necessary to study the sensitivity of microbes
