Correspondence About the article of the Privat-docent V. F. Maslovkago: "To the doctrine of self-infection of maternity hospitals".

Privat-docent V. F. Maslovsky in his work "On the doctrine of self-infection of maternity hospitals", which appeared in the April book "Journal of obstetrics and women's diseases" for the current year, reproaches me for limiting myself to studying only the biological properties of microbes found, and says (p.332): "it is currently impossible to determine the property of microbes according to the state of culture, due to insufficient information about their biological properties."In this regard, I should note that it is the biological properties of known microbes that are currently being studied; in particular, this can be said about the desired microbe in my work—staph. R. aureus.
