Purpose: Investigation of the sensitivity of conditionally pathogenic and pathogenic causative agents of postpartum disgalacting syndrome isolated from the pathological discharge of the vagina and the secretion of the mammary glands of patients with sorts to the most common antibacterial drugs.Materials and methods. The fence of the biological material was carried out within 2-3 days after supporting in sows of different ages and parity with the clinical manifestation of postpartum disgalacting syndrome from June to August 2021. In sows, the purse was taken in a mosper, milk, discharge from the vagina for the purpose of bacteriological research.Samples of vaginal wasches were sent in a special transportation environment of Ames. Samples of colostrum and milk (3-5 ml) were gained in sterile test tubes in compliance with the rules of antiseptics (the mammary glands were laid with warm water and 70% ethyl alcohol were treated). For the allocation and study of pure cultures of microorganisms from the above biomaterials produced crops on various nutrient media.The material brought to the laboratory was studied as follows: from the transport medium was carried out primary sowing on triptica-soybean agar, tryptichase-soybean broth, triptichase-soy agar with the addition of 5% of the defibrous blood of the ram; Samples were incubated in aerobic conditions at 37; The growth was taken into account after 24 hours. Then, pure cultures were isolated for the study of the cultural and morphological properties of the microorganisms obtained.The primary identification of the strains of microorganisms was carried out using the Microflex® LRF Bruker Maldi Biotyper system. The accuracy of the results obtained was confirmed by classical microbiological methods based on morphological, cultural and biochemical signs of microorganisms.The resistance of the isolated and identified pure crops to antibiotics was determined by diffusion in agar. In the study, the "advanced set of disks to estimate the antibiotic sensitivity of enterobacteria was used.Results. Inflammatory processes in the reproductive path of sows with postpartum diskalactic syndrome are caused by predominant gram-negative microorganisms, in lactic glands - associations of gram-positive and gram-negative microflora. The main conditionally pathogenic and pathogenic pathogens of endometritis and / or mastitis associated with postpartum diskalactic syndrome are the microorganisms of Escherichia, Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Actinobacillus, Rothia, Weisella, Pseudomonas, Proteus, Enterococcus, Streptococcus and Staphylococcus. It has been established that the overwhelming majority of microorganisms are sensitive to cephalosporine antibiotics: cefepim, zefisim, cefotaxim, ceftazidim, ceftriaxone, ceftinibuthen, cefuroxime.Conclusion. With respect to a large number of the most frequently used antibacterial drugs on this pig-breeding enterprise, high resistance is observed in microorganisms. Treatment of postpartum diskalactic syndrome sowers using antibacterial drugs is recommended to be carried out taking into account sensitivity to them allocated conditional and pathogenic microorganisms.

The annual monitoring of the species composition of the causative agents of osteomyelitis, the identification of antibiotic-resistant strains, the study of the species composition of associations of microorganisms, their adhesive activity will prevent the spread of infection. Analyze the spectrum of the leading causative agents of osteomyelitis, their antibiotic sensitivity, and also the adhesive activity of the identified bacterial associations. A microbiological analysis of 2197 smears of adult patients with various etiological forms of osteomyelitis who were treated in the departments of the purulent center of the FSBI «NMRCTO» of the RF Ministry of Health in 2019. The spectrum of pathogenic microflora, sensitivity to standard antibacterial drugs used in the clinic was studied. The biofilm-forming ability of associations of microorganisms was investigated. According to the conducted microbiological monitoring for 2019, the microflora spectrum for osteomyelitis is diverse, the main pathogens are S. aureus, S. epidermidis, P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae, Enterococcus sp. A high percentage of isolation of microbial associations was noted, most often mix cultures of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Bacterial associations: S. aureus + P. aeruginosa, S. aureus + S. marcescens, S. aureus + A. baumannii, S. epidermidis + E. cloacae - actively formed a biofilm on the surface of polystyrene plates, and the adhesive potential depended on interstrain relations in the composition of the formed biofilm. Among Gram-negative microflora, multiresistant strains prevail, among Gram-positive microflora - a high percentage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococci. When analyzing the antibiotic sensitivity of the isolated microorganisms, a high percentage of resistant strains is noted. So, with respect to enterobacteria, β-lactam antibiotics, drugs from the group of aminoglycosides, turned out to be ineffective. Among non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria, A. baumannii strains had multiple antimicrobial resistance. Among gram-positive microorganisms, a high percentage of isolation of methicillin-resistant staphylococci was noted. The specificity of the course of the disease and measures aimed at eliminating the pathogen depend on the species composition in the focus of infection. The study of the etiological structure of osteomyelitis, the monitoring of the antibiotic resistance of pathogens and their persistent potential, makes it possible to adopt sound tactics of conservative and surgical treatment.


Summary. The problem of treatment and prevention of postoperative purulent complications in abdominal surgery in our time remains extremely urgent. This is due to an increase in the number of complex operations using modern technologies, an increase in the volume and duration of surgical interventions, as well as current antibiotic resistance problems. Objective: to study the structure of the leading causative agents of perioperative infectious complications in patients with surgical pathology and study their antibiotic sensitivity. Materials and methods - 576 patients, the average age of 45 ± 10.5 years, took part in the investigation, who were treated in the departments of surgery and intensive care unit of medical institutions of Vinnitsa region. A microbiological study of materials collected from patients was carried out (selection of secretions, fluid during drainage of superficial and deep surgical wounds). From the obtained biological material, a pure culture of the pathogen was isolated with its identification by morphological, tinctorial, cultural and biochemical properties according to generally accepted microbiological methods and using the Vitec automatic bacteriological analyzer (France). And a comparison was made of the profile of the sensitivity of the most significant pathogens to modern antibiotics. Results. According to the results of the study, it was revealed that the most common pathogens of surgical wound infections include opportunistic bacteria E.coli (22.0 %), S.aureus (19.0 %), S.epidermidis (13.0 %), E .faecalis (15 %), P.aeruginosa (10.0 %), A.baumanii (11.3 %). An analysis of the sensitivity to antibiotics of various classes of studied strains of the dominant causative agents of perioperative infectious complications showed that β-lactam antibiotics (meropenem (75–100 %), cefepime (65–100 %) and fluoroquinolones chemotherapeutic agents had the greatest antimicrobial activity. A slightly lower antimicrobial activity was found for third generation cephalosporins (70–85 %), amoxicillin-clavulanate (40–75%), aminoglycosides (tobramycin – 80 %, amikacin – 40 %). A high level of resistance of most grams of (-) microorganisms to ampicillin-sulbactam, cephalosporins of I–II generations in different ratios was determined. S.aureus resistance to azithromycin, clarithromycin is shown. Conclusions: the high prevalence of multiresistant isolates of pathogens (gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, enterococci), gram-negative pathogens (Escherichia, Klebsiella, enterobacteria, acinetobacteria, pseudomonads) emphasizes the need for dynamic microbiological monitoring in the surgical departments and the use of alternative antimicrobial drugs only.

Despite the introduction of modern methods of treatment, the creation of new generations of antibacterial agents, and the constant improvement of aseptic and antiseptic methods, the treatment of purulent–inflammatory processes remains one of the most complex and urgent problems in veterinary practice. The article presents the results of the isolation of indigenous microbiota from various biotopes of healthy cats, as well as the study of their biological marker properties for the selection of the most optimal strains in probiotic medicines for the control of surgical infections. It was demonstrated that isolated cultures of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, which we isolated, revealed high sensitivity to antibiotics of the β-lactam group (excepting L. acidophilus No. 24, L. plantarum “Victoria” No. 22, L. rhamnosus No. 5, L. rhamnosus No. 20, and L. rhamnosus No. 26, which showed a significant variability in sensitivity to antibacterial drugs of this group, indicating the great potential of these microorganisms) and resistance to aminoglycosides, lincosamides, and fluoroquinolones (with the exception of gatifloxacin, which showed high efficiency in relation to all lactic acid microorganisms). The adhesive properties of the isolated lactobacteria and bifidobacteria were variable, even within the same species. It was found that the B. adolescentis No. 23 strain of the Bifidobacterium genus, as well as the L. plantarum No. 8, L. plantarum “Victoria” No. 22, L. rhamnosus No. 6, L. rhamnosus No. 26, L. acidophilus No. 12, and L. acidophilus No. 24 strains of the Lactobacillus genus had the highest adhesive activity. Thus, when conducting a detailed analysis of the biological marker properties of candidate cultures (determining their sensitivity to antimicrobial agents, studying the adhesive properties, and antagonistic activity in relation to causative agents of surgical infection in cats), it was found that the most promising are L. plantarum “Victoria” No. 22, L. rhamnosus No. 26, and L. acidophilus No. 24.

Silver nanoparticles with 5–10 nm diameters are synthesised using Couroupita guianensis flower extract. The synthesised silver nanoparticles found to show good antimicrobial activity against gram negative and gram positive bacteria. Poly(methyl methacrylate) nanofibers with pristine, surface roughened and coaxial hollow forms are prepared by electrospinning. The structural and morphological properties of these pure and structurally modified poly(methyl methacrylate) nanofibers are evidenced by various analytical techniques. The antimicrobial studies of poly(methyl methacrylate) nanofibers having different architectures incorporated with silver nanoparticles are carried out. It is found that, all the three forms of poly(methyl methacrylate) nanofibers incorporated with silver nanoparticles show antibacterial properties against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. Among these, surface roughened poly(methyl methacrylate) nanofibers incorporated with silver nanoparticles show highest antibacterial activity than the other two structural forms. The present study offers an alternative to the existing optical lenses. People especially those who suffer from eye problems can protect their eyes in a better way from infectious agents by wearing optical lens made from C. guianensis stabilised silver nanoparticles incorporated poly(methyl methacrylate) nanofibers than that made from pure poly(methyl methacrylate) nanofibers or films.

Introduction. Bacterial blood infections during febrile neutropenia episodes are urgent medical conditions which were and still are the main cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with hematologic malignancies. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and clinical characteristics of bacteremia, infectious agents, presence and incidence of antibiotic resistance, as well as the treatment outcome of bloodstream infections in patients with hematologic malignancies. Material and Methods. A three-year retrospective study included 107 patients with hematologic malignancies and positive blood culture results during febrile neutropenia. Results. The most common isolates were Gram-negative bacteria (58.5%), with Escherichia coli being the most frequent pathogen. The Gram-negative microorganisms were mostly sensitive to carbapenems in 70.7%, whereas sensitivity to other antibiotics was as follows: piperacillin/ tazobactam 62%, amikacin 58.5%, and third-generation cephalosporins 50.5%. Acinetobacter spp. was sensitive only to colistin (94.1%). The antibiotic sensitivity among Gram-positive bacteria was highest to linezolid (97.1%), followed by teicoplanin (81.4%) and vancomycin (81.4%). In our patients, the mortality rate during the first 28 days from the moment of positive isolates was high (37.4%). Most patients died within the first seven days. Bacterial blood infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria were associated with significantly higher mortality (?2 = 4.92, p = 0.026). Acinetobacter spp. was isolated in almost half of the patients with fatal outcome, of whom 62.5% died in the first 24 hours. Conclusion. Bacterial bloodstream infections are severe complications with a high rate of mortality in febrile neutropenic hematological patients. Gram-negative bacteria were the most common isolates in our Clinic, with high mortality. It is of utmost importance to constantly monitor the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics, as well as to prevent and control the spread of resistant strains. Antibiotics resistance patterns should regularly be followed.
