Antibacterial activity of Turmeric and Iodopyrone tincture

Abstract

Today, one of the most serious problems worldwide is antibiotic resistance. The long-term use of antibiotics to combat pathogens in animals and humans has led to the fact that some bacteria have become resistant to drugs and no longer respond to treatment. Therefore, the search for alternative methods and means of treatment with the use of natural medicinal substances is relevant. Despite the fact that the antimicrobial properties of turmeric have been known for a long time, its effect on certain groups of bacteria has not been studied enough. The presented research results indicate the ability of 70% tincture of turmeric and 0.5% solution of iodopyrone to suppress the growth of bacteria of the pathogenic microflora Enterobacter cloacae, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and are of great practical value in veterinary dermatology.
