Description of the Book:

Methodology for setting up experiments with bacterial aerosol in the dust phase was developed. For this purpose sterilized dust was infected with a dense suspension of the white staphylococcus in a physiological solution and then dried. In dispersing 20 or 30 mg of bacterial dust in a chamber of a 250 liter capacity a fairly stable aerosol was obtained, its presence could still be detected 6-8 hours later. A shortcoming of the method is the rapid dying off of the white staphylococcus in artificially infected bacterial dust, as a result of which it is no longer fit for use in experiments at the expiration of 5-7 days or, more rarely, after 7-9 days. When bacterial dust is dried by the lyophilization method, it can be used for experimental purposes for an extended time. In storing lyophilic dust at 2-4C it can remain fit for serial experiments over 35 days, and when maintained at room temperature or at 37C – over 20 days
