Specific composition of the anaerobic and aerobic microflora in osteomyelitic focus

Specific composition of the microflora in osteomyelitic focus of patients with chronic posttraumatic osteomyelitis was studied using anaerobic and aerobic techniques for microorganism isolation and culturing. It was demonstrated that anaerobic microorganisms were isolated in 62,5% of patients studied. The anaerobic microflora was shown both as non-spore-forming bacteria (Bacteroides, Veillonella, Gemella, Actinomyces) and as spore-forming bacilli of Clostridium type. The aerobic and optionally anaerobic microflora included gram-positive and gram-negative bacilli and cocci of 18 specie
