Main problems of contemporary disinfectology, concerning from the one side – differences in groups, kinds, stamps of microorganisms disinfectant resistibility, from the other side – features of different medical technologies, with different tools adjustment and levels of disinfection required for them, are being formulated in the article. There are described main factors of disinfection efficiency. Requirements to "ideal" disinfectants and disinfection technologies are represented in this work. Also, there are discussed points of new approaches estimation harmonization and trends in enclosing of domestic and foreign disinfection methods.

Disinfection station of Ufa

In the article there are described stages of up-coming and development disinfection station of Ufa, which was organized in the second decade of the last century, in the period when efforts of medical workers were undertaken to liquidate the consequences of civil war, ruins and famine, and to prevent the spreading of contagious diseases.

The urgency of a problem of intrahospital infections (IHI) in Russia does not tend to decrease. According to experience of practical surveillance, at least 5 % of patients suffers from intrahospital infections. Addition of an intrahospital infection to the basic disease increases duration of stay of the patient in a hospital on the average for 6–8 days, it raises the level of lethality, results in significant economic losses.

As the result of analysis of intrahospital paraentheral viral hepatites B and morbidity, authors come to the conclusion, that the main factors of infection transfer are injections and intravein infusions in treatment-and-prophylactic establishments. Besides, authors analyze professional treatment-and-prophylactic establishments medical personnel morbidity and estimate high efficiency of specific immune prophylaxis, comparing the morbidity level in the contingent before the beginning of immune prophylaxis with the morbidity level of the non-vaccinated grownup population of Moscow. At the basis of the analysis they make the profound conclusions and introduce some proposals of the ways to come to a decrease in the number of B and C hepatites cases among patients, as well as well among medical personnel.

Scientific principles of disinfectology are based on the knowledge of complex of disciplines, among which epidemiology is at the first place. In this article has been maid an attempt of coordination of the general disinfection measures conduction and level and tendencies in epidemic process development in the cases of some infections. Organization and conduction of disinfection measures depend on the epidemic process characteristics. Epidemic process of some infections analysis testifies the presence of possible sources of organizational forms and contents characteristics of disinfection measures improvement. There is a possibility to divide infectious diseases that are the subject of disinfection measures in for 4 groups. Scabies and pediculosis are the indicators of sanitary and epidemiological status of population. Deratization is a matter of primary importance in the prophylaxis of natural sources infections morbidity growth in Moscow population, associated with natural sources activation in Moscow region. The measures are undertaken to restore the continuous principle of deratization, that had been broken in 1990-s. There is shown in the article, that hygiene training and decreed population group attestation are necessary parts of nonspecific infectious diseases prophylaxis.

Medical devices protection from reinfection solution is to be supplied at all the stages of sterile materials preparation, sterilization and usage. There were conducted bacteriological tests to determine microflorae sowing from samples of devices sterilized in different packages. Retrieved results showed unfitness of round sterilization boxes usage for devices sterilization. In the same time, paper and combined materials packages, produced by "Vipak Medical", appeared to be faultless, all the samples inside the packages were sterile. Requirements to protection packages have been formulated.

Spectrophotometric determination method of triclosan in liquid toilet antibacterial soap was described based on triclosan ethanol solution absorption at 280 nm. Triclosan concentration can be also determined by measuring absorption of colored product (maximum 490 nm) formed in presence of 4-aminoantipirin and oxidant.

Gas chromatographic and spectrophotometric methods determination 0,02–0,1% of fipronil in insecticide gel "Goliaf" was given. Fipronil was previously extracted by chloroform. After evaporation of the extract fipronil was determined by gas chromatographic method at column temperature 227°C. In the spectrophotometric method the concentrated solution was put on the "Silufol" plate and fipronil was isolated by means of the moving phase CCl₄ : CHCl₃ = 1:1. Fipronil spot (Rf = 0,10) was cut off, fipronil was extracted by alcohol and the solution absorption was measured at 280 nm (molar absorption 6800 l/mol·cm). The analysis results of "Goliaf" and other fipronil containing gels by two mentioned methods corresponds with standard deviations 10–15%.
