RESUMO
The bactericidal activity of recombinant endolysins LysECD7, LysAm24, LysAp22, LysSi3 and LysSt11 was assayed in multidrug resistant strains (n=120) of Salmonella enterica, E. coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, Enterobacter spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Campylobacter jejuni. The assay showed that the recombinant endolysins had a wide spectrum of bactericidal activity compared to endolysins of their progenitor phages. Among examined endolysins, we selected the active pharmaceutical substances with broad spectrum of bactericidal activity. Most strains were sensitive to LysECD7 (70.7%), LysAm24 (65%), and LysAp22 (58.6%), which seems to be promising causative agents for the development of finished dosage form.

The influence of vitamin D and ultraviolet irradiation (UVI), used for prevention of vitamin D deficiency, on the state of phosphoric-calcium metabolism was studied in experiments on rats. It has been shown that daily injections of 1-5 IU of vitamin D, and UVI in biodoses from 1/8 to 1/4 promote the maintainance of the normal level of phosphoric-calcium metabolism. When UVI was applied according to the widely used "basic scheme" (in biodoses from 1/4 to 2 1/2) the following anomalies were recorded: a three-fold increase of 25-ON-D3 concentration in the blood plasma, hyperphosphatemia, a tendency to hypercalcemia. The use of higher doses of UVI led to a further increase of 25-OH-D3 level, hypophosphatemia, hypercalcemia, kidney and heart calcification. The data obtained have evidenced a possibility of vitamin D intoxication during UVI.
