Aim. Study biodiversity, sensitivity/resistance to antibacterial preparation (ABP) of opportunistic microorganisms of Enterobacteriaceae family isolated from surface reservoirs of Rostov-on-Don in 2014 - 2016. Materials and methods. Determination of genus and species membership of enterobacteria was carried out by the results of a complex of biochemical tests using MALDI Biotyper program-apparatus unit. Sensitivity to ABP was determined by serial dilution method. Results. 468 strains of opportunistic and pathogenic enterobacteria were isolated during the study. 20 genera, 33 species of microorganisms were identified. (37.0%), Klebsiella (13.2%), Citrobacter (8.0%) predominated. 8.5% of the strains isolated in 2014 were sensitive to ABP, 5.2% - in 2015; strains sensitive to ABP were not detected in 2016. The number of polyresistant isolates has increased during the last 3 years: 40.7% strains in 2014,60.1 % in 2015. 80,0% in 2016. Ceftriaxone, gentamycin and ciprofloxacin had high activity against the isolated enterobacteria. The highest resistance was documented against ampicillin, nalidixic acid, nitro-furane, co-trimoxazole. Conclusion. The data obtained allow to evaluate the dynamics of increase of polyresistant strains of enterobacteria isolated from surface reservoirs.

Aim. Study the frequency of occurrence of antibiotics resistant strains of various species of Corynebacterium non diptheriae. Materials and methods. C.pseudodiphtheriticum, C.pseudotuberculosis, C.xerosis, C.amycolatum, C.striatum, C.ulcerans strains isolated from patients with pathologies of respiratory and urogenital tract, as well as individuals taking prophylaxis examination were used. Sensitivity to antibacterial preparations was determined by the serial dilution method. Results. The highest number of Corynebacterium non diptheriae strains displayed resistance to benzylpenicillin (54.8%) and lincomycin (50.7%), and lowest - to cefotaxime, cefazolin (6.8%) and vancomycin (13.7%). The highest number of antibiotics resistant strains were detected among members of C.pseudotuberculosis {100%), C.xerosis (96.0%) and C. pseudodiphtheriticum (81.0%) species. Polyresistant strains were detected most frequently among C.xerosis, C.amycolatum and C.striatum species. Strains of Corynebacterium non diptheriae most frequently displayed resistance to 1 or 2 antibacterial preparations (24.7%), less frequently - to 3 (20.5%), 4 (13.7%), 5 (4.1%) and 6 (1.4%) preparations. Conclusion. The amount of antibiotics resistant strains of Corynebacterium non diptheriae is large (89.0%) and non-similar in various species.

Aim. Comparative study of antibiotics resistance and VNTR-typing of Vibrio cholerae non O1/ non O139 strains, isolated on the territory of Rostov region in 2014. Materials and methods. Antibioticogramms of strains were determined by serial dilution method in dense nutrient medium according to MG 4.2.2495-09 (2009). Pheno-, sero- and VNTR-typing was carried out by conventional methods. Results. The studied strains belonged to V. cholerae species, did not agglutinate with O1 and O139 sera, were atoxigenic, hemolysis-positive, did not contain genes of cholera toxin and toxin-coregulating pili ofadhesion, contained genes ofhemagglutinin/protease, protease PrtV, collagenase, cytotonic factor Cef, outer membrane protein OmpW, tol- and vps-clusters, regulatory genes toxR and hapR. Antibioticogramms of the strains have shown the presence of cultures, resistant to ampicillin, ceftazidime, furazolidone, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole with intermediate resistance to streptomycin, kanamycin, gentamycin, amikacin, netilmicin. Approximately 20% of isolates had multiple drug resistance. Data of VNTR- and geno-typing confirmed a possibility of water transmission route of the infection. Conclusion. Execution of monitoring of cultures from environmental samples is necessary for timely detection of genetic characteristics, antibiotics resistance.

Serial Dilution Method

A series of novel substituted l-[5-(2-methyl-5-nitro-4phenyl-imidazol-lyl methyl)-2-phenyl-(1,3,4)oxadiazol-3-yl]-ethanones have been synthesized. Formation of 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring was accomplished by the reaction of the corresponding hydrazide with acetic anhydride. The structure determination of these compounds has been made on the basis of IR, 1H NMR, and elemental analysis. All the compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity. The antimicrobial activity of title compounds were examined against two gram-negative (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis), two gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and antifungal activity was carried out against Candida albicans. The MIC values for the newly synthesized compounds have been assessed by serial dilution method All the compounds demonstrated potent antibacterial activity.

: Candida albicans is one of the main agents responsible for opportunistic pathogenic infections. The progressive emergence of fungal resistance to conventional antibiotics and its side effects as well as treatment costs are considered as major limitations for antifungal drugs. It has drawn scientists' attention to search for potential substitution and therapeutic reliable alternatives for the antifungal compounds from sources like medicinal plants, which contain numerous bioactive compounds such as essential oils. Essential oils (EO) apart from having lower toxicity and better biodegradability are eco-friendly in nature as compared with conventional antibiotics. Furthermore, extracted essential oils have been reported to possess potent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that nominate them as natural promising candidates to combat numerous fungal ailments. Thus, determination of antifungal efficacy of essential oil-bearing plants on Candida spp. will provide miscellaneous knowledge for future clinical studies that are required for development of new formulations as alternative therapeutic agents to control the growth of Candida species. Therefore, this review summarizes the gist of major essential oils that have been investigated for their anti- Candida potential with some recommendations for further study.
