[The preventive and therapeutic effect of peracetic acid on the development of surgical infection].
The paper reports on the possibility of application of peracetic acid on live tissue by correcting those properties which presented the obstruction for its former application on live tissue. Using laboratory technique the degree of peracetic acid acidity was put to pH 5 and the concentration of 0.2% was determined by testing in vitro on the resistant hospital strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The prophylactic and therapeutic activity on artificially induced infection of wounds by above mentioned bacteria was investigated in experiments (rabbits n = 30). The prophylactic and therapeutical efficacy of peracetic acid of certain properties was proved by comparing it with the control group of wounds where physiological solution was used as a compress.
