  • Title: [The interaction of pathogenic microorganisms with the sorbent polymethylsiloxane].
    Author: Dikova IG, Il'chenko OI, Ruban VI, Samodumova IM, Sidel'nikova LF.
    Journal: Mikrobiol Zh (1978); 1993; 55(3):47-53. PubMed ID: 8355629.
    Abstract:
    The method of electron microscopy has been used to study adhesion of the microbic cells of standard strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and fungi of genus Candida on the organosilicon sorbent polymethylsiloxane (PMS) and medicamentous complex containing it. This complex contains furazolidone and metronidazole immobilized on silver ions-modified PMS. It is shown that the adhesion of microorganisms is accompanied by their destruction whose rate on pure PMS and medicamentous complex is different. Using experimental data the assumptions are advanced concerning the mechanism of the PMS interaction with Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms as well as with fungi of genus Candida.
