[Experimental study of the antiviral properties of antibiotic 6734-21]
Abstract:
The effect of antibiotic 6734-21 on the viruses of variolovaccine, Herpes simplex, influenza and classical avian plague was studied on various experimental models. Antibiotic 6734-21 inhibited development of the variolovaccine virus in the tissue culture, in chick embryos, in rabbits with variolovaccine infection, as well as the development of the viruses of Herpes simplex, Aueski, and Newcastle diseases in the tissue culture. It had a virulicidic effect on the viruses of variolovaccine, influenza and classical avian plague.
