[Microbiological specifics in the course of suppurative inflammatory processes in soft tissues of patients with diabetes mellitus].
The focal microflora of pyo-inflammatory processes has been studied in dynamics in 200 patients with diabetes mellitus. It was found that a longer and more severe course was due to the changed specific composition of causative agents and to the increased specific diversity of the latter in the process of pyo-inflammatory progressing. It was established that the usage of the method of "close" wound management with the application of oxytocin inhibited the change of the causative agents in the course of the disease, led to a more rapid elimination of microorganisms from the pyo-inflammatory focus, to the less frequency of recurrent surgical interventions and shorter duration of courses of treatment in contrast to the results obtained with the other methods of treatment.

[Potentiation of the antimicrobial action of antibiotics in combination with oxytocin].
The antimicrobial effect of oxytocin in combination with 39 antibacterial drugs was studied in vitro with the use of 30 strains of different test cultures. It was shown that oxytocin had a capacity for potentiating the antibiotic effect on many microbial species. The potentiation ratio depended on the antibiotic and microbial species used and ranged from 2 to 24 times. The combined therapy with oxytocin and antibiotics was tested on animals with experimental staphylococcal sepsis. The survival rate of more than 50 per cent was observed only in the group of animals treated with the combinations of antibiotics and oxytocin, while in the other groups the death rate amounted to 100 per cent. The most favourable combinations of oxytocin and antibiotics were used in the treatment of 260 patients with pyoinflammatory affections of the soft tissues (mastitis, postinfection suppuration, paraproctitis, etc). In the majority of cases, the surgical treatment was replaced by the paracentetic treatment with local application of the combinations of oxytocin and antibiotics. This markedly decreased (by 3-4 times) the periods of temporary disability, provided better cosmetic results of the treatment and lowered consumption of the dressing material.
