[Physicochemical and antimicrobial properties of chlorine-containing compositions ciaref and DP-1]. / Fiziko-khimicheskie i antimikrobnye svoistva khlorsoderzhashchikh kompozitsii tsiaref i DP-1.

The paper presents the results of the physicochemical properties and corrosive activity of the new chlorine-containing compositions Ciaref and DP-1. Various microbiological, biochemical, and biophysical studies were conducted to examine different aspects of the mechanism of action of Ciaref and DP-1 on vegetative (Francisella tularensis) and sporal (Bacillus turingiensis) microorganisms. Suspension, test-surface irrigation, and aerosol techniques were employed under close industrial conditions to study the disinfecting properties of the agents in bacterial and sporal contamination.

[Characterization of B-type bacteriophages adsorbed on Pseudomonas aeruginosa pili]. / Kharakteristika bakteriofagov B-tipa, adsorbiruiushchikhsia na piliakh Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Pilus-dependent B-morphotype bacteriophages isolated from various sources were studied. The adsorption of phages on Pseudomonas aeruginosa pili was proven. Electron-microscopic examination of the morphology of phages was carried out, and the adsorption properties were partially described. It was suggested that adsorption apparatuses of different pilus-dependent B-phages are alike with respect to structure and function.
