ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES OF IONOGENIC INULIN DERIVATIVES

Аннотация

World medical practice faces the problem of increasing number of infectious diseases that are difficult to treat with known antimicrobial agents. First of all, this is due to a sharp increase in the number of resistant microorganisms to existing drugs and a decrease in their therapeutic effectiveness due to uncontrolled administration. In such conditions, the need for the development of new antimicrobial agents based on natural polymers increases. Of particular interest are compounds that can combine antimicrobial activity with a minimal risk of side effects. It is known that polysaccharides such as chitosan, pectin, alginic acid and their derivatives have a wide spectrum of antimicrobial action. At the same time, antimicrobial polysaccharides do not exhibit toxic effects and do not accumulate in the body. Based on this, research aimed at obtaining new polysaccharide derivatives with antimicrobial action remains relevant.
