CHARACTERISTIC OF SENSITIVITY OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS AND CANDIDA ALBICANS TO ANTIBACTERIAL PREPARATIONS AND COLLOIDAL SILVER

Abstract

Abstract. Constant use of antibiotics leads to reliable increasing of resistance among microorganisms. Using non-toxic concentrations of colloidal silver in combination with antimicrobial agents can reduce using concentrations of antibiotics, kept necessary antimicrobial effect. In case of Staphylococcus aureus bactericidal activity of the complex of colloidal silver with unit concentration of neomycin is bigger than the bactericidal effect of double concentration of the antibiotic. Fungicidal effect of combination of antifungal agents with a solution of the colloidal silver on Candida albicans is equal to fungicidal effect of double concentration of antifungal drugs.
