[Action of decamethoxin on diphtherial exotoxin]
Abstract
The results of the study of the detoxicating effect of decamethoxin on diphtheria toxin are presented. It was noted that decamethoxin in subbacteriostatic concentrations inhibited the process of the toxin production in Corynebacteria diphtheriae. The detoxicating effect of the drug was clearly evident when used in a concentration of 10gamma/ml at a 2-hour exposure. Decamethoxin in a dose of 0.1 gamma/ml neutralized the effect of the diphtheria toxin on contact for 24 hours.
