Abstract

Dose-dependent protective effects of lanthanum nitrate solution and gel were shown on the model of experimental infection caused by a virulent strain of Shigella flexneri 2a or opportunistic bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae in outbred and DBA mice.

Keywords: Klebsiella pneumoniae; lanthanum nitrate; opportunistic bacteria; type I herpes simplex virus; virulent strain of Shigella flexneri 2a.
