Prospects of the Use of New Carbon Sorbents with Antimicrobial Properties in the Intensive Care Medicine

The purpose is to study antibacterial and antimycotic properties of produced granular carbon sorbents. Material and methods. A VNIITU-1 carbon sorbent was used as a starting material, which was modified with polyvinylpyrrolidone and lactic and glycolic acids oligomers. Microbiological bench tests were carried out to determine the antibacterial and antimycotic activity of these granulated carbon hemosorbents. Antibacterial properties of sorbents were studied in relation to pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus agalactiae as well as their mixtures: mixture No. 1 — S. aureus and E. coli; mixture No. 2 — S. aureus and P. aeruginosa. Results. Presented data demonstrate that the modified VNIITU-1 exhibits significant antibacterial and antimycotic activity against most of the studied microorganisms compared to original sorbent.  Conclusion. Modified sorbents as antimicrobial and detoxifying drugs may further be employed in treatment of obstetrical-gynecological and surgical diseases. The carbon sorbents are promising materials for medicine, as they expand the potential of sorption therapy in clinical practice.
