[Stellanin-PEG 3% ointment: comparative antimicrobial activity against surgical infection pathogens].

: Comparative antimicrobial activity of four ointments, i. e. stellanin-PEG, levomecole, dioxydin 5% ointment and betadin was studied with the use of collection microbial strains and the most frequent pathogens of pyoinflammary processes in surgical patients. Clinical strains of gram positive and gram negative organisms were used as the test cultures. Stellanin-PEG 3% ointment showed high antimicrobial activity against both the gram positive and the gram negative organisms, including methicillin resistant staphylococci, E. faecalis, E. faecium, as well as E. coli and Klebsiella spp. producing extended spectrum beta-lactamases. As a whole, stellanin-PEG 5% ointment was inferior only to 5% dioxydin ointment.
