[Effect of several antibiotics and their combination with prodigiozan on Y. pestis EV, engulfed by macrophages]. 1977

G O Popova, and N N Vinidchenko, and R V Mikhalevich, and M T Sokolova, and L N Makarovskaia

The effect of various antibiotics, such as streptomycin, gentamicin, ampicillin, benzylpenicillin, tetracycline, chlortetracycline and levomycetin on the plague bacteria (strain Y. pestis EV) located inside the cells was studied. Peritoneal macrophages of albino mice with aceptic inflammation of the abdominal cavity caused by intraperitoneal administration of 2 ml of sterile meat-peptone broth were used in the experiments. The ratio of the macrophages and microbes was 1 : 50. A part of the mice were treated with prodigiozan 24 hours before taking the exudate. The preparations of the macrophages of albino mice with the microbes absorbed by them served as the control. The effect of the antibiotics and their combinations with prodigiozan was stimated by the coefficient of multiplication suppression against the control. The observations were made in dynamics. The studies showed that the macrophage activity of the mice treated with prodigiozan after exposure to the antibiotics was reliably higher than that in the control and digestion of the microbes located inside the cells started earlier, providing more complete phagocytosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D010400 Penicillin G A penicillin derivative commonly used in the form of its sodium or potassium salts in the treatment of a variety of infections. It is effective against most gram-positive bacteria and against gram-negative cocci. It has also been used as an experimental convulsant because of its actions on GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID mediated synaptic transmission.

D010930 Plague An acute infectious disease caused by YERSINIA PESTIS that affects humans, wild rodents, and their ectoparasites. This condition persists due to its firm entrenchment in sylvatic rodent-flea ecosystems throughout the world. Bubonic plague is the most common form.

D011353 Prodigiosin 4-Methoxy-5-((5-methyl-4-pentyl-2H-pyrrol-2-ylidene)methyl)- 2,2'-bi-1H-pyrrole. A toxic, bright red tripyrrole pigment from Serratia marcescens and others. It has antibacterial, anticoccidial, antimalarial, and antifungal activities, but is used mainly as a biochemical tool.
D002701 Chloramphenicol An antibiotic first isolated from cultures of Streptomyces venequelae in 1947 but now produced synthetically. It has a relatively simple structure and was the first broad-spectrum antibiotic to be discovered. It acts by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis and is mainly bacteriostatic.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
