[Effectiveness of the inhalatory administration of chlolincocin in experimental staphylococcal pneumonia].

Administration of chlolincocin (7-chlor-7-desoxylincomycin) in the form of inhalation aerosol to albino mice in a dose of 200 Units/mouse provided the drug therapeutic concentrations in the lung tissue. The antibiotic was well adsorbed and detected in the blood, liver, kidneys and other biological substrates. Penetration of chlolincocin and lincomycin from the lungs into the blood was better in healthy animals. In animals with experimental staphylococcal infection their blood levels were 1.5--2 times lower. Repeated inhalations of chlolincocin resulted in an increase resulted in its levels in the lung tissue up to 8--10 Units/ml, however, its blood levels increased insignificantly. When chlolincocin and lincomycin were administered intravenously, their concentrations in the lung tissue were lower and detected for a shorter period of time than after the inhalation administration. The aerosols of chlolincocin markedly inhibited the growth of Staph. aureus in the lungs. The drug was 3--5 times more active than lincomycin. Inhalation administration of chlolincocin aerosol is supposed to be expedient for the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the respiratory organs caused by lincomycin sensitive flora.

[Functional state of the adrenal cortex in the antibiotic therapy of experimental staphylococcal infection].

The functional state of the cortex in experimental animals before and after treatment with tetracycline was studied under conditions of prolonged infection caused by intravenous administration of Staph. aureus. Three staphylococcal strains were used in the study: sensitive, low sensitive and resistant to tetracycline. It was shown that development of the infection in the animals was accompanied by a decrease in the cortex function. Oral administration of tetracycline in a dose of 200 mg/kg resulted in normalization of the glucocorticoid function of the gland after 15 days of its use. Since the same phenomenon was observed when the animals were infected with the antibiotic resistant strains of staphylococci, it was supposed that the therapeutic effect of tetracycline was defined by both the antibacterial action and capacity for increasing the protective-adaptive reactions of the host by stimulation of the cortex function.

[Rifampicin effectiveness in experimental anaerobic gas infection].

The inhibitory effect of rifampicin against most of 82 strains of pathogenic Clostridia was evident at a concentration of less than 0.1 gamma/ml. The bactericidal concentrations were close to the bacteriostatic ones with respect to 74 strains. The protective effect of rifampicin in mice with experimental anaerobic gaseous infaction caused by different species of pathogenic Clostridia was evident at doses of 0.5 mg/kg. In infections caused by associations of Clostridia and Staph. aureus resistant to other antibiotics, rifampicin was effective, while ampicillin had no protective effect. Rifampicin administered 24 to 96 hours before the infection prevented the specific process. A number of other antibiotics, such as ampicillin, cephaloridin, morphocycline and 7-chlor-7-desoxylincomycin had no such a capacity. The prolonged prophylactic effect of rifampicin was associated with maintenance of low antibiotic levels in the blood and muscle tissues which were higher than the minimum inhibitory concentrations. The effect of rifampicin against the background of a rapidly developing process was less pronounced and limited in time.

[Sensitivity of pathogenic clostridia to antibiotics].

By the sensitivity levels of the gas infection causative agents, i. e. pathogenic Clostridia to antibiotics, the latter were conditionally divided into 4 groups. The 1st group included the most active antibiotics, such as tetracyclines,, penicillins, cephalosporins, rifampicin, 7-chlor-7-desoxylincomycin. Their minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations did not usually exceed 2 gamma/ml. For most of the strains the inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations amounted to the tenth and hundredth fractions of gamma/ml. The antibiotics of the 2nd group, i. e. erythromycin, lincomycin,ristomycin and levomycetin inhibited multiplication and viability of pathogenic Clostridia in concentrations of 20 gamma/ml. Erythromycin was most active among them The 3rd group consisted of oleandomycin, novobiocin, geliomycin and azalomycin, the minimum inhibitory concentrations of them being 20 to 50 gamma/ml. The antibiotics of the 4th group, i. e. neomycin, monomycin, kanamycin, streptomycin, polymyxin and others affected pathogenic Clostridia at very high concentrations, amounting to the hundrenth and thousandth of gamma/ml.
