Based on his experiments carried out with pyogenic staphylococci cultured in surgical staphylomycoses the author considers the best ways to determine the virulence of these microbes from enzymatic reactions - plasma coagulation, gemolysis and gelatin liquefaction, from biological - the method of intradermal reaction in rabbits and guinea pigs owned by Dold. These reactions most coincide with the clinical pathogenicity of staphylococci and allow to establish their virulence in a relatively short time.
