Abstract

The sensitivity of Y. pseudotuberculosis of different origin and plasmid profile to Russian preparations of the ftoroquinolones group (cyprofloxacin, pefloxacin, norfloxacin) was studied. Of the 3 preparations under study, pefloxacin was found to be most active with respect to Y. pseudotuberculosis. The absence of relationship between antibiotic resistance in 4 Y. pseudotuberculosis strains to cyprofloxacin, pefloxacin and norfloxacin and their additional conjugative R-plasmid with molecular weights of 32 and 38 mD was noted. Pefloxacin was shown to give a good sanitation and protective effect in experimental pseudotuberculosis.

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.
