The aim: Explore the antimicrobial properties of lactobacilli’s metabolites and combination of lactobacilli’s and saccharomycetes’ metabolites with different concentrations (in vitro) and to test the effectiveness of samples with minimum inhibitory concentration on infected polyresistant strain P. aeruginosa skin wounds (in vivo) for the possibility of creating prophylactic antimicrobial agents.
Materials and methods: Metabolic complexes (L. rhamnosus GG and S. boulardi) were obtained by culturing lactobacilli or lactobacilli and saccharomycetes in lactobacilli disintegrates. The sensitivity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PR (in vitro) to them was determined by the microtechnique of serial dilutions in a liquid nutrient medium. In vivo, 0.9 % sodium chloride solution (control) or lactobacillus metabolic complex (experiment, treatment group) was applied to infected skin wounds or, in addition, immediately before the infection, to the wound and then to infected wounds (experiment, prophylactic-treatment group).
Results: There was observed the decrease of the infectious process of skin wounds in the prophylactic-treatment group (3.25-3.4 times; p=0.01 related to control samples) compared with the treatment group (2.05-2.25 times; p=0.02) by the wound healing rate (day 5). The healing rate of control wounds (day 11) coincided with the rates of experimental wounds in the prophylactic-treatment group (day 8), indicating that the use of lactobacilli metabolites promotes the acceleration of healing by almost three days.
Conclusions: Metabolic complexes of probiotic microorganisms are promising for construction on their new class of antimicrobials for the effective pharmacoprophylaxis and pharmacotherapy.
The aim of the study was to investigate the structural and functional changes in the male genitourinary system in the development of cryptosporidiosis.Material and methods. The study was based on biopsies and necropsies, based on histological methods.Results. The article is devoted to the study of structural and functional changes in the male genitourinary system in the development of cryptosporidiosis. The authors of the study emphasize the features of the nomenclature profile of cryptosporidiosis, its low certainty, the place among modern protozoal infections. The paper draws attention to the emergence of the disease, the specifics of its clinical course, the characteristics of the most accessible and effective methodological (histological) algorithm. The publication presents data on structural and functional changes of the urethra, testicles, kidneys of children with cryptosporidiosis (proven participation of the inflammatory component, destructive processes, trophic disorders). Researchers have focused on the peculiarities of the structure of the mucous membranes of the genitourinary organs in terms of cryptosporidiosis, destruction of the epithelium, microcirculation disorders. It is assumed that the factors of influence / strengthening of the latter were the activation of lysosomal (hydrolytic) enzymes capable of cleaving lipid - protein complexes of membranes.As a result, the opinion is expressed about the role of cryptosporidiosis in the development of male infertility.Conclusions. In the case of cryptosporidiosis, the most vulnerable structures of the male genitourinary system are cells of mesenchymal origin (epithelium).They are characterized by atrophy, desquamation, destructive-degenerative changes, necrosis. The destruction of the endothelial layer of microvessels leads to defects in the layers of the walls of the latter, thrombosis, the development of stasis, impaired microcirculation and trophism
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
