The effect of activated water on staphylococcal infection in vivo in animal model and in vitro on Staphylococcus aureus culture

Abstract

The results of detail investigation of the effect of water, activated by special nonionizing Molecular Resonance Effect Technology (MRET water), on staphylococcal infection is presented. Investigated activator is the stationary source of low-frequency resonant magnetic field with composite space structure and very weak amplitude (about 1 Oersted). The investigation of the effect of MRET activated water was conducted in two steps: the evaluation of the immunestimulatory effect following the ingestion of MRET water on the immune-competent cells in the model of mice infected with Staphylococcus aureus Wood-46 (in vivo) and the evaluation of the inhibition of growth of Staphylococcus aureus Wood-46 culture in MRET activated nutrient mediums (in vitro). MRET activation of the water based nutrient medium with suspended staphylococcal culture leads to the origination of the high bacteriostatic activity of such nutrient medium which depends on the time duration of activation and the initial concentration of culture cells. The bacteriostatic activity increases following the increase of time of activation (the times of activation up to 60 minutes were studied). The efficacy of bacteriostatic activity increases following the decrease of initial concentration of the suspension of staphylococcal culture. © 2009 Springer-Verlag.
