В опытах in vitro изучено действие эмоксипина и мексидола (метилэтилпиридинола гидрохлорид и сукцинат) на развитие культур эталонных штаммов Staphylococcus aureus АТСС 25923, Staphylococcus epidermidis АТСС 14990, Escherichia coli АТСС 25922 и Candida albicans АТСС 10231, а также исследована чувствительность микроорганизмов к их комбинациям с антимикробными средствами. Показано, что оба препарата проявляют сходное противомикробное действие в отношении использованных штаммов микроорганизмов с минимальной подавляющей концентрацией 1250 – 10000 мкг/мл. При комбинировании с другими антимикробными средствами эмоксипин (1000 мкг/диск) повышает чувствительность Escherichia coli АТСС 25922 к цефтазидиму и тетрациклину в равной мере в среднем на 91 % (p < 0,01 и p < 0,005). В этих условиях мексидол (1000 мкг/диск) увеличивает чувствительность Escherichia coli АТСС 25922 к цефтазидиму на 40 % p < 0,01 и повышает чувствительность Staphylococcus aureus АТСС 25923 к ванкомицину в среднем на 60 % (p < 0,001), цефтазидиму – на 54 % (p < 0,02), фузидину — на 40 % (p < 0,05) и норфлоксацину — на 21 % (p < 0,05). Собственное противомикробное действие и синергизм с традиционными антимикробными средствами следует учитывать при клиническом применении эмоксипина и мексидола при инфекционных заболеваниях и гнойных процессах.
Candida albicans occupies a dominant position in the list of causative agents of candidal lesions of the ear. The development of new antifungal agents, an alternative source of which can be herbal essential oils and their components, remains a priority. One such agent with antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic action is eugenol which is a phenol substance. Therefore, this article was aimed to study the effectiveness of the antifungal action of eugenol emulsified in Polysorbate-80 against clinical strains of C. albicans isolated from patients with external otomycosis. The study was performed using 6 clinical strains of C. albicans isolated from the ear canal of patients with otitis externa. The diagnosis of fungal disease was established based on the results of clinical and laboratory (microscopical and mycological) studies of pathological material. Analysis of mycological research showed that mainly representatives of the genus Aspergillus and Penicillium were revealed and only in 7% there were Candida genus fungi. C. albicans remained the dominant species of clinical significance. The results of our studies showed a high level of antifungal activity of eugenol on all clinical strains of C. albicans, including a remarkable inhibitory and fungicidal effect. At postmycostatic concentrations, the eugenol caused partial inhibition of reproduction of the clinical strains of fungi, which was replaced by a subsequent increased cell reproduction rate. So, the investigation has shown that C. albicans is the dominant species among fungi of the Candida genus in the structure of the microbial profile of otomycoses. The eugenol, emulsified in Polysorbate-80, has a high antifungal effect against clinical strains of C. albicans. At postmycostatic concentrations, the eugenol caused partial inhibition of reproduction of the clinical strains of fungi, which was replaced by a subsequent increase cell reproduction rate.
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.
