Description
Summary:	The inner surface of the drainage catheter used in surgical interventions for biliary system pathologies was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Microfl ora in the catheter lumen refl ects etiological characteristics of the pathological process and helps to predict possible complications. The developed scanning electron microscopy imaging technique of visualization of the fi ne spatial structure of microbial biofi lm formed on the catheter surface allows describing the cell pool and structure of the biofi lm.
