Findings of a research on antibacterial effects of a newly synthesized iodine-containing drug (FS-1) against both the drug susceptible strain Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and an isolate of M. tuberculosis MS-115 with a multiple drug resistance phenotype, were discussed. The obtained results of the microbiological studies confirmed a bactericidal activity of FS-1 against sensitive and multi-drug resistant strains of M. tuberculosis at the concentrations from 8.2 μg/mL to 2.7 μg/mL during the entire investigation period (42 h). Spectrophotometry has shown that FS-1 causes changes in the permeability of the cell membrane of mycobacteria. Also it penetrates through the cytoplasmic membrane and causes the lysis of the cells (spheroplasts) partially devoid of the cell wall. Antibacterial action mechanism was studied by using the technique of the mole.. View More»
