Рurposе. To study antimicrobial activity of fume of the essential oil of peppermint against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Materials and methods: The screening study of antimicrobial activity of solutions of essential oil by disk-diffusion method and activity of essential oil fume of own preparation and pharmaceutical form of oil according to standard strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Esсherichia coli and 12 clinical strains of staphylococci (6 methicillin-resistant and 6 methicillin-sensitive) has been carried out. Results: Essential oil of own preparation and pharmaceutical form showed equal antimicrobial activity against strains of staphylococci. Essential oil of own preparation has been determined to reveal higher activity against gram-negative strains. Conclusion: Received data have proved the presence of antimicrobial activity against all strains of microorganisms and mostly against staphy-lococci

The research goal is to assess the efficacy of treatment with two new original ointments for burns with experimental pseudomonas infection. Burns have been caused by laser to three groups of white rats (20 animals in each group). In 3 days the wounds were infected with clinical strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The wounds of the first group of rats were treated with ointments № 1, the wounds of the second group of rats — with ointments № 2. The third group did not receive any treatment. In 3, 10 and 14 days period the number of microbial cells in purulent discharge was studied. Then they were grown on meat-peptone agar. The number of colonies was counted. The number of cells in purulent discharge of treated wounds was less, than it was in purulent discharge of untreated wounds. The number of cells in purulent discharge of treated with ointments №1 wounds was higher, than it was in purulent discharge of treated with ointments №2 wounds. The article concludes that the local antimicrobial effect of both ointments is explained by their main components — some essential volatile oils and chloramphenicol

The article gives close attention to the study of electromagnetic radiation influence (EMR) at the frequency of molecular spectrum absorption and radiation (MSAR) of nitric oxide (150 GHz) and atmospheric oxygen (129 GHz) on the clinical course of experimental wound infection caused by antibiotic-sensitive and antibiotic-resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The panoramic spectrometric measuring complex, developed in Saratov Scientific Research Institute of Measuring Equipment was used while carrying out the research. Electromagnetic vibrations of extremely high frequencies were stimulated in this complex imitating the atmospheric oxygen and nitric oxide absorption and radiation molecular spectrum structure. The experiments proved the fact that exposure to radiation at the frequency of molecular spectrum absorption and radiation (MSAR) of nitric oxide and atmospheric oxygen had positive impact on the course of traumatic process
