  • Title: [Study of the antibacterial activity of ftorlon threads].
    Author: Plotkina NS, Krasovskaia SB, Virnik AD.
    Journal: Polim Med; 1975; 5(3):213-21. PubMed ID: 1107978.
    Abstract:
    The study concerned antibacterial properties of the ftorlon threads obtained from acetone or dimethylformamide polymer solution containing antibacterial derivatives of 5-nitrofuran added which were known to be active against the germs most commonly causing the postoperative infection including Staphylococci, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris and Candida type fungi. Basing of the laboratory test following the method of infected medium and suspension method it was found that the best effects were obtained when using threads produced from the acetone polymer solution added with beta-(5-nitrofuryl-2)-acroleine and those containing furazolidone obtained from acetone or dimethylformamide polymer solution. Antibacterial properties of the ftorlon threads did not change upon autoclaving, gamma irradiation and prolonged storage.
