The film-forming potential of isolate of seed polysaccharide fromCassia fistulawas investigated. Increasing the glycerol concentration in the film increased elongation at break, film solubility and water vapor permeability but decreased tensile strength (TS). The film impregnated with the acetone extract ofAtractylodes lanceawas assessed for inhibition ofEscherichia coliandStaphylococcus aureus. The obtained results showed that the films exhibited antibacterial activity against both bacterial strains. Disc-diffusion assay revealed that the film resulted in a larger inhibition zone around the film onStaphylococcus aureusthan it did onEscherichia coliat the same extract concentrations (0.1 to 0.9 wt %). It can be seen that the film has satisfactory physical and antibacterial properties.

The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation method from plants of three varieties Agastache aurantiaca, cultivated on the Republic of Belarus were investigated. Some morphobiometric parameters of plants 'Tango', 'Apricot Sprite' and 'Fragrant Delight' and oil yields were determined. Using the technique of gas-liquid chromatography essential oil components were identified and determined. The main components of the essential oil from 'Tango' and 'Fragrant Delight' plants were menton (~ 53 and ~ 65 v/v % respectively) and pulegon (~ 36 and ~ 25 v/v % respectively). The samples of 'Apricot' Sprite' essential oil were rich in isomentone (~ 46 v/v %) and pulegon (~ 41 v/v %). All tested essential oils contained (+)-menton and (+)-pulegon enantiomeric forms only. The antibacterial activity of dimethylsulfoxide and ethanolic essential oil solutions against Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella alony, Bacillus subtilis, Clostridium sp., Escherichia coli Hfr H, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was proved. Ethanol solutions of essential oils at the concentrations 0.001–0.1 v/v % had significant bactericidal activity. A correlation between the composition of the essential oil and their antibacterial properties was established.

Цель исследования - изучение антибактериальной активности гранулированных углеродных сорбентов по отношению к патогенной микрофлоре в условиях различной продолжительности контакта с сорбентом. Методика. Исследовали антибактериальные свойства гранулированного сорбента ВНИИТУ-1, обработанного гидромеханически, окисленного и стабилизированного до нормативных значений рН и модифицированного поли-N-винилпирролидоном (ПВП) ВНИИТУ-1 по отношению к патогенным микроорганизмам: Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus agalactiae, а также к их смесям. Все микроорганизмы представляли собой клинические штаммы, выделенные из ран пациентов. Предварительно тест-микроорганизмы были исследованы на чувствительность к современным антибиотикам. Опытным путем подбирали такие разведения и количество засеваемого материала, чтобы выросшие на чашке Петри колонии можно было сосчитать. Бактерии сорбировали из физиологического раствора с концентрацией микробных клеток 3 х 10 колониеобразующих единиц в 1 мл исследуемой пробы (КОЕ/мл). В пробирку типа Эппендорф вносили сорбент в количестве 0,5 мл, добавляли 1 мл микробной взвеси, встряхивали для удаления пузырьков воздуха и выдерживали в термостате в течение 1, 3, 6 и 24 ч. По истечении заданного времени контакта сорбента с патогенной микрофлорой отбирали надосадочную жидкость в объеме 100 мкл, засевали на стерильные агаровые пластины чашек Петри с питательной средой ГМФ-агар. Засеянные чашки Петри помещали в СО-инкубатор 15АС (Япония) вверх дном и инкубировали при температуре 37 ± 1°С в течение 24 ± 2 ч. При подсчете колоний, выросших на чашке Петри, учитывали только те чашки, на которых выросло более 300 изолированных колоний. Результаты. Гранулированный сорбент ВНИИТУ-1 обладает антибактериальным действием в отношении как грамположительных, так и грамотрицательных бактерий, а также их смеси. Сроки проявления антибактериального эффекта сорбента зависят от вида микроорганизмов и времени их контакта с образцом. Присутствие в составе сорбента модификатора ПВП усиливает его антибактериальные свойства. Полимермодифицированный образец обладает пролонгированным антибактериальным эффектом в отношении широкого спектра микроорганизмов (E. coli, St. aureus, P. aeruginosae и St. aureus) и смеси их культур. Заключение. Показана возможность повышения антибактериальных свойств гранулированных углеродных сорбентов по отношению к патогенной микрофлоре путем их модификации поли-N-винилпирролидоном. Дальнейшая разработка и применение углеродных сорбентов как средств сорбционной терапии является перспективным подходом к местному лечению гнойных ран. The purpose: Study the antibacterial activity of granulated carbon sorbents in relation to the pathogenic microflora under the conditions of different period of contact with sorbent. Methods. It has been investigated the antibacterial properties of VNIITU-1 granulated sorbent, which was hydromechanically treated, oxidized and stabilized up to pH standard parameters and VNIITU-1 modified poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone (PVP) against the pathogenic micro-organisms, including Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus agalactiae, and their mixes. All bacteria were clinical strains derived from the wounds of patients. Dilutions and amount of inoculated material were experimentally selected for further calculation of the grown colonies on the Petri dish. Bacteria were sorbed from the saline solution with bacteria concentration of 3 х 10 of the colony forming units in 1 ml of test sample (CFU/ ml). Eppendorf tube was added the sorbent 0.5 ml and bacterial suspension 1 ml; then the tube was shaken to remove the air bubbles and incubated for 1, 3, 6 and 24 hr. Upon the expiry of the target time for sorbent with pathogenic flora contact the supernatant fluid was collected in 100 ul and inoculated on the sterile agar plates of the Petri dishes with GMF agar nutrient medium. Inoculated Petri dishes were placed upside down in СО incubator 15AC (Japan) and incubated at 37 ± 1°C for 24 ± 2 hours. When counting the colonies growing on the Petri dish, they took into consideration only the dishes where more than 300 isolated colonies were grown. If more than 300 colonies were grown, «> 3x102 CFU/ml» was recorded in the protocol. Results. Granulated sorbent VNIITU-1 has an antibacterial effect against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and their mixes. Time period for manifestations of the sorbent antibacterial effect depends on the type of microorganisms and time of contact. PVP presence in sorbent composition enhances the antibacterial effect of the sorbent. Resin-modified sample has a prolonged antibacterial effect against a broad spectrum of microorganisms (E. coli, St. aureus, P. aeruginosae and St. aureus) and mixtures of their cultures. Conclusion. It has been determined the possibility for increasing of antibacterial properties of granulated carbon sorbents against the pathogenic microflora by their modification with poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone. Further development and application of carbon sorbents as the means for sorption therapy is a perspective approach for the local treatment of purulent wounds.

Purpose: In this work our aim was to reveal the relationship between sodium alginate concentration and crosslinking level, also the ratio of release of the antibacterial additives: silver nanoparticles and metronidazole. Moreover, we examine obtained hydrogel as a potential dressing material for regenerative medicine. Design/methodology/approach: In the research specimens of hydrogels were tested to define their mechanical and physicochemical properties like antibacterial activity against gramnegative Escherichia coli and gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, viscosity and conductivity. Findings: The concentration of alginate and presence of antibacterial additives influence on the crosslinking level. Mechanical properties of hydrogels are similar to human skin. Only hydrogels with addition of metronidazole and AgNP inhibits bacteria growth after 18 h. In case of gram-negative Escherichia coli both of the aseptic additives inhibits bacteria growth, but sodium alginate hydrogel with silver nanoparticles gives better results in tests with grampositive Staphylococcus aureus. Research limitations/implications: The presence of metronidazole in hydrogel, especially its incorporation and binding with mannuronic and guluronic acid residues must be clarified in more advanced research. Practical implications: Obtained results shows that sodium alginate hydrogels with 0.1mg/ml of alginate, due to its properties are proper as a dressing material. Based on the results, and more advanced tests with metronidazole, we can consider dressing design. Originality/value: Unique value of this work is that we completed the gap in knowledge about the relation of crosslinking level and mechanical properties with are crucial to proper tissue healing and addition of popular aseptic agents.

ABSTRACT: Medicated wound dressings are important barriers to avoid contamination and, when they contain antimicrobial additives, can be used as treatment for infected wounds. There are several types of polysaccharide materials that serve as matrices for medicated wound dressings, among them, sodium alginate. For the preparation of the films studied in this paper, sodium alginate was employed in combination with essential oils/oleoresins (EO/OL) of six peppers that are commonly used in cooking. The EO/OL were incorporated at three different concentrations (low, intermediate and high). Most of the films prepared had better dispersion of the EO/OL at the intermediate concentration. All films studied in this research were dissolved in water at different rates. The antibacterial activity of the prepared films showed significant results against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus, and demonstrated that the films studied may be a new alternative for medicated wound dressings.
