摘要:
The present application relates to an anti-bacterial system for use in the treatment of bacterial infections or control of bacterial contamination, which avoids the use of antibiotics. Such infections include mastitis, tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis and the contamination that may result from biofilm formation on medical devices.
摘要:
The invention is concerned with a pharmaceutical and industrial iodophor preparation, its synthesis and potential applications. The compound has predictable antimicrobial activities. Furthermore, this iodophor is much more stable in the presence of organic material than traditional iodophors. The compositions release free iodine when in solution, which provides the antimicrobial activity.

The present invention relates to an anaerobic reactor (10) for the treatment of industrial and other wastewaters at psychrophilic and/or mesophilic temperatures, the reactor comprising a mixing chamber (12) in which is located, during use, a granular sludge fluidised bed, the reactor further comprising a biofilm chamber (16) fed from the mixing chamber and housing a biofilm colonised pumice- based carrier medium (28), and a separation chamber (18) in fluid communication with the biofilm chamber and in which treated effluent and biogas produced within the reactor are separated.
摘要:
This invention relates to a method for preparing compositions for preventing or treating microbial infections, compositions suitable for use in such treatments and methods for treatment or prevention of infections. The compositions comprise iodide and a source of hydrogen peroxide. One such composition finds particular use in treating mastitis in ruminants. The composition is administered into the udder of an animal as a highly effective treatment for mastitis, or as a prophylactic therapy, by means of an intra-mammary infusion. The milk produced by the animal, during treatment using the composition and method of the invention, is free of residues, such as antibiotics, antimicrobial agents or antimicrobial proteins, which could affect its suitability for drinking or in the production of milk products, such as cheese or yoghurt. The compositions and methods are also useful in treating and preventing lung infections; and infections in bums and wounds; and other infections caused by biofilms. The compositions may also be used on medical devices to prevent infection.
