The use of combinations of antibiotics is a promising area of antibiotic therapy of bacterial infections caused by antibiotic-resistant strains. The main goal of combined antibiotic therapy is to achieve a synergistic effect and to expand a spectrum of antibacterial activity against multi-resistant microorganisms. Due to the presence of various mechanisms of resistance in bacteria, even to drugs of the same group, the microbiological efficacy of antibiotic combinations is difficult to predict. Therefore, to select effective combinations of antibiotics, it is required to conduct a microbiological testing of isolates isolated from a particular patient. Currently, in the Republic of Belarus, the appointment of combined antibiotic therapy is carried out empirically, and in the event of its clinical ineffectiveness, the drugs are replaced. One of the reasons for a limited testing, with the availability of culture media and diagnostic materials, is the lack of regulatory and technical methods for identifying synergy adapted to local microbiological laboratories. The purpose of this publication was to analyze the literature data illustrating the relevance of analyzing the methods for studying the effects of synergy of antibacterial drugs and the possibility of their introduction into practical medicine. As a result of a search for publications in the PubMed database on the topic of increasing the antibacterial effect of antibiotics on the request the “checkerboard” method and the “time-kill” analysis for the period from 2016 to 2021, 947 results were found with an upward trend in research. “Checkerboard” and “time-kill” assays are the most common, reliable in vitro tests that reflect the effects of antibiotic combinations and the effects of antibiotic combinations with other compounds.","PeriodicalId":20656,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Biological Series","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85471506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A systematic assessment of accumulation of biologically active substances (vitamins, fatty acids, flavonoids, anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, phenolic acids) of this plant of northern and southern populations was carried out. The role of secondary metabolites in the formation of the biological potential of R. chamaemorus L. fruits and leaves is described. High antioxidant and antiradical activities of cloudberry fruit extracts in in vitro and in vivo model systems are also noted. The review presents the results of scientific works devoted to the study of the antimicrobial activity of fruits against Helicobacter pillory, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermis, Bacillus subtilis, Campylobacter jejuni, Micrococcus luteus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans.

It was shown that the genes lacZ1, bgaB2, and bgaB3 characterized by an enhanced degree of similarity to the genes of closely related bifidobacterial species, presumably code for the enzymes catalyzing the specific reactions of hydrolysis and transglycosylation of carbohydrates.
