Abstract

The power-time curves ofS. flexneri 6,S. flexneri 3b,S. dysenteae andE. coli were determined by using the 2277 Thermal Activity Monitor (Sweden). From these curves, by using a microorganism growth experimental model with inhibitory conditions, the growth rate constant (μ) was determined at different medicinal concentrations, with the optimum allowable concentration of the synthetic medicine.

Zusammenfassung

Mittels eines Thermal Activity Monitor 2277 (Schweden) wurden die Potenz-Zeit-Kurven vonS. flexneri 6, S. flexneri 3b, S. dysenteae undE. coli ermittelt. Anhand dieser Kurven wurde unter Anwendung eines experimentellen Modells für das Wachstum von Mikroorganismen unter Inhibitorbedingungen die Wachstumsgeschwindigkeitskonstante (μ) bei verschiedenen Arzneimittelkonzentrationen und in Ableitung davon die optimal erreichbare Konzentration des synthetischen Arzneimittels bestimmt.
