It was experimentally revealed that subcutaneous method of albino mice infection in combination with hydrocortisone administration offered a possibility of decreasing the period of discharge of brucella to 7 days with a 100% culturing from the inguinal, paraaortal lymph nodes and the spleen. In intracerebral method of infection with a preliminary treatment with hydrocortisone the period of the culture isolation decreased to 14 days.
