PMMA/nanoCu antibacterial plastic was prepared by in situ polymerization using MMA as monomer, BPO as initiator and surface treated nanoCu as antibacterial agent. AMEO was used for surface treatment of nanoCu. ATR-FTIR spectra showed that AMEO successfully reacted on the surface of nanoCu. SEM spectra showed that nanoCu dispersed evenly in the PMMA/nanoCu composite. Antibacterial test results showed that the composite had a strong antibacterial effect on Escherichia coli, and the antibacterial rate reached more than 99%. Therefore, the PMMA/nanoCu composite can be used in various fields of antibacterial plastic products.

Four different bioreactive ceramics were prepared using a sol-gel method and a standard melting process. The aim was to study antibacterial effect of these materials on the growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis. The dissolution (Si and Ca ions) of fine (≤ 45 !m) ceramic powders in a tryptone soya broth (TSB) was investigated. Also the pH changes in TSB solution were measured. In addition the adherence of Enterococcus faecalis (Ef) to materials was investigated. The bacterial adhesion was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In the bacterial and the adhesion test, CaPSiO2 and S53P4 had the strongest antimicrobial effect against studied bacteria. It was shown that bioreactive sol-gel derived ceramic with sufficient high Ca ion release (> 270 ppm) can reach strong antibacterial effect also at lower pH values (< 9.6).

AbstractThe risk of infection via microbiologically contaminated surfaces has already been demonstrated by other publications. In this work two different antibacterial surface technologies transition metalloacids (AMiSTec) and TiO2/AgNO3 (Health Complete) were compared regarding feasibility as well as their advantages and disadvantages. The examination of the antimicrobial activity was assessed according to the JIS Z 2801. We could demonstrate that all of our tested samples showed a strong antimicrobial activity (>log 3 germ reduction) in the JIS experiments. Furthermore this strong antibacterial effect could be shown already after <30min incubation and at low light intensity (approx. 300 Lux) for the TiO2/AgNO3 samples. Both technologies provide a high potential for an improved infection control for example in a high risk environment like operation rooms or intensive care units.

Antibacterial effects of plant extracts were examined using mixtures of extracts obtained using different technological processes: usnea extract was obtained using the process of supercritical extraction (NKE), angelica extract was obtained through supercritical extraction processes (NKE) and ultrasound extraction using ethanol (UZ), and thyme extract was obtained using the process of hydrodistillation (HD). Mixtures of the listed extracts were examined in various ratios: U (NKE) and T (HD) in a ratio of 1:1, U (NKE) and T (HD) in a ratio of 7:3, U (NKE), T (HD) and A (NKE) in a ratio of 2:2:1, and U (NKE), T (HD) and A (UZ) in a ratio of 2:2:1. The investigations covered 15 strains of bacteria of the genus Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and Enterococus, including the strains MRSA, VRE as well as reference strains of S. pyogenes ATCC 19615, S. agalactiae ATCC 27959 and S. aureus ATCC 11632. The antibacterial action of mixes of plant extracts was examined using the microdilution method in bouillon, and the examined mix concentrations were from 1.25 g/mL to 1280 g/mL. The strongest antibacterial effect was exhibited by mixes of usnea (NKE) and thyme (HD) in ratios of 1:1 and 7:3 with obtained MIC values from 5 g/mL to 160 g/mL, but the MIC value of the listed mixtures for the biggest number of strains amounted to 40 g/mL. A somewhat weaker effect was exhibited by the other examined extract mixtures with obtained MIC values of 10 g/mL to 320 g/mL. Based on the obtained MIC values and the results of previous investigations, it can be concluded that the examined mixtures of plant extracts exhibited a very strong antibacterial effect on the examined bacteria strains. .

Abstrak: Buah nanas (Ananas comosus (L) Merr) merupakan salah satu jenis buah-buahan tropis yang banyak diminati masyarakat. Buah nanas biasa dingunakan masyarakat sebagai antibakteri, antiinflamasi, antikoagulan, dan antikanker. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui uji daya hambat anti bakteri air perasan daging buah nanas (Ananas comosus (L) Merr Var.  Queen) terhadap bakteri Propionibacterium acnes. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental laboratorium dengan menggunakan metode difusi kertas cakram. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa air perasan daging buah nanas (Ananas comosus (L) Merr Var. Queen) pada konsentrasi 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% memiliki efektivitas sedang sebagai antibakteri dalam menghambat pertumbuhan bakteri Propionibacterium acnes, pada kontrol positif yang menggunakan klindamisin dengan rata-rata diameter zona hambat sebesar 25,8 mm memiliki pengaruh antibakteri yang sangat kuat dan untuk kontrol negatif dengan menggunakan aquades tidak menunjukkan zona hambat 0 mm pada bakteri Propionibacterium acnes.Kata kunci: Buah nanas, propionibacterium acnes, daya hambat antibakteri.Abstract: Pineapple (Ananas comosus (L) Merr) is one of the most popular fruit among people, Pineapple is used as antibacterial, anti-inlfammatory, anticoagulant and anticancer. The purpose of this study is to determine the antibacterial inhibitory test of pineapple juice (Ananas comosus (L) Merr Var. Queen) against Propionibacterium acnes. This research is a laboratory experimental using paper disc diffisuion method. The results of this study indicate that pineapple juice at concentration of 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% it has a moderately antibacterial effectiveness in inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acnes, positive control using clindamycin with an average inhibition zone diameter of 25.8 mm has a very strong antibacterial effect and for negative control using aquades does not show 0 mm inhibition zone in Propionibacterium acnes bacteria.Keywords: Pineapple fruit, propionibacterium acnes, antibacterial inhibition.

Objective. To evaluate the efficacy of systemic antibiotic therapy with Tsiprolet A in patients with periodontitis generalizovanim and diabetes. Object and Methods. We examined and treated 25 patients with generalized periodontitis I–II degree and IDDM by a single scheme of clinical studies and index, as recommended by WHO. All patients were treated with topical anti-inflammatory antibiotic therapy using paste «Parasept». In the study group (12 pers.) Additionally given Tsiprolet A for systemic antibiotic therapy. Results. Using the drug «Tsiprolet A» complex therapy of generalized periodontitis in patients with IDDM provided decrease microbial contamination of periodontal pockets almost 3 times, most clearly manifested antibacterial effect against oral Trichomonas and fungi of the genus Candida. Clinical and laboratory values in group were 2-fold better than the control. Conclusion. The drug «Tsiprolet A» has a strong antibacterial effect: 40 % overall reduced colonization of the oral cavity, disappear pathogenic forms of microorganisms (trichomonas, yeast-like fungi, etc.), restored normal microbiocenosis oral cavityю Using Tsiprolet A combined with pasta Parasept in complex treatment of patients with generalized periodontitis and diabetes helps stimulate local protective factors in the mouth, high anti-inflammatory effect, which allows to predict the increase in terms of remission of generalized periodontitis in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Relevance: the reason for the development of complications in endodontic treatment is poor-quality instrumental treatment root canals.Aims: a study of the animicrobial action and clinical efficacy of high-frequency monopolar diathermocoagulation in the treatment of chronic forms of pulpitis.Materials and methods: 102 patients with various chronic forms of pulpitis were divided into three groups of 34 patients each. In the first two groups, high-frequency monopolar diathermocoagulation was used in endodontic treatment in different modes. In the third group, endodontic treatment was carried out without the use of diathermocoagulation (comparison group). The root canal microflora in chronic pulpitis in vivo was studied twice-before and after diathermocoagulation.Results: it was established that high-frequency monopolar diathermocoagulation in the effect mode is 3, power is 4 (4.1 W) and effect is 4, power is 4 (5.4 W) with an exposure time of 3 seconds, it has a pronounced antibacterial effect on all presented pathogenic microflora obtained from the root canals of the teeth.
