GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY AND MASS-SPECTROMETRY IN DIAGNOSIS OF ANAEROBES
The article presents opportunities of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry application in studying obligatory anaerobes. The data concern anaerobe indication in pathological material based on determination of molecular markers, chemotaxonomy and anaerobe classification, specific anaerobe identification, studying the molecular level of pathogenetic mechanisms of interrelations between microbe and the organism, and rapid determination of anaerobe sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs.
