Abstract
Objective: to estimate the antibacterial activity of officinal herbs available in Belarus in regard to extensively antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Material and methods . Minimal inhibitory concentrations and minimal bactericidal concentrations of water infusions from officinal medicinal herbs in regards to antibiotic-resistant and antibiotic-sensitive strains of Gram-negative rods have been determined. Results. 4 out of the 17 herbs revealed the expressed antibacterial activity in regards to Gram-negative non-fermenting rods. The herbs did not reveal any antibacterial activity of water infusions in regard to K. pneumoniae . Conclusion. The revealed data on the antibacterial activity make it possible to recommend medicinal herbs for additional local application along with current systemic antibiotic therapy.
