Abstract
In this review the comparative analysis of advantages and disadvantages of the known methods for the immunological diagnostics of streptococcal infections (serotyping, phage typing), as well as the methods of molecular epidemiology (PCR typing with the use of "disseminated" priming, ribotyping, electrophoresis in the pulsing electric field, etc.), is presented. Essentially new approaches, capable of being used in future for the control of epidemically topical clones of group B streptococci, are discussed.
