Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Staphylococcal fl ora of the skin was studied in athletes whose professional activity involved training in water. Inoculations were carried out by impressions in selective agar medium (yolk saline agar; YSA) in bacteriological signets. Drug sensitivity was studied by the disk diffusion method modifi ed by Kerby−Bauer using standard disks with antibiotics. The study was carried out in 4 groups of athletes engaged in water sports (athletic and synchronous swimming, modern pentathlon, and water polo). Quantitative and qualitative characteristics of staphylococcal fl ora in water athletes are presented, MRSA strains are detected, and antibiotic sensitivity of staphylococcal microfl ora was evaluated.
