[Assessment of the effectiveness of noninvasive immunoenzyme method in the detection of Staphylococcus aureus alpha-hemolysin in the washings of nasal mucosa and saliva of healthy individuals].

: The efficacies of detection of S. aureus by the bacteriologic method and enzyme immunoassay test system based on F(ab)2 fragments of purified antistaphylococcal antibodies were compared. Washings off the nasal mucosa and salivary samples from 20 normal subjects (medical staff) were examined. The number of findings of S. aureus by the detection of its a-hemotoxin in primary samples was much higher and the time of analysis two times shorter with enzyme immunoassay.
