Abstract
AIM: to evaluate microbiota of anal fistulas. The discharge of fistula track was taken in 54 patients with transsphincter anal fistulas before surgery. The microbiology was carried out using an extended range of culture medium with incubation in aerobic, anaerobic and microaerophilic environment to extract the maximum possible number of microbes. One hundred sixty strains of microbes have been isolated in 54 cases: gram positive bacteria — in 109 (68.4 %) cases and gram-negative bacteria — in 49 (30.4 %). Yeast fungi were detected in 2 (1.2 %) cases. CONCLUSION: qualitative microbiological composition of the anal fistula discharge is similar to perianal abscess.
