The antibacterial activity of Shenning Suppository in vitro and vivo / 中成药

ABSTRACT

AIM: The bacteriostatic effects of Shenning suppository in the treatment of vaginitis were investigated in vivo and in vitro. METHODS: The minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC)against ten clinical pathogens isolates was determined by tube dilution method,minimal bactericide concentration(MBC) was measured by the agar dilution method.The model of vaginitis from Candida albicans in the rabbit was investigated. RESULTS: Shenning suppository could inhibit and/or destroy Staphylococcus aureus,Candida albicans,ect in virto.It also improved the pathological change in the model of vaginitis from Candida albicans in the rabbit. CONCLUSION: Shenning Suppository could treat bacterial and mycotic vaginitis
