Abstract

It was revealed that ability of zink chloride, copper sulphate, aluminium nitrate and sodium chloride to inhibit the nitrate reduction of Pseudomonas correlated with their potentiating influence on the antimicrobial activity of decamethoxin, a quaternary ammonium derivative. So, doses of zink chloride (0.01-0.04%), copper sulphate (0.04%), aluminium nitrate (0.04%), sodium fluoride (0.05-0.1%) able to inhibit effectively the reduction of anions of nitric acid decreased the minimal inhibitory concentration of decamethoxin against Pseudomonas strain ATCC 27853 to 0.15-10 mg/ml and minimal bactericidal concentration to 0.20-10 mg/ml in comparison with 15.6 and 60.4 mg/ml in the control without potentiators. Providing the use of respiration chain's inhibiting doses of sodium fluoride (0.1%) and zink chloride (0.01%), it became possible to decrease the resistance of 54 clinical samples of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to decamethoxin.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.
