Effective against gram-positive cocci.(Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp.), Gram-negative rods (E. coli, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Klebsiella spp.). Stable Plasmodium, aeruginosa, Enterococcus spp., Acinetobacter spp., most strains Proteus spp., Serratia spp. The mechanism of action is related to the inhibition of the synthesis of nucleic acids. Depending on the concentration has a bactericidal or bacteriostatic effect. Against most bacteria, the bacteriostatic concentration ranges from 10-20 μg / ml. The bactericidal concentration is approximately 2 times higher. Under the influence of nitrofurans in microorganisms, the activity of the respiratory chain and the cycle of tricarboxylic acids (Krebs cycle) is suppressed, as well as the inhibition of other biochemical processes, which leads to the destruction of their membrane or cytoplasmic membrane.
