[The interaction of metal-containing carbon sorbents with pathogenic microflora]

To give sorbents the bactericidal action, a modification of the carbonic sorbents by the metals is suggested. Modification of the SKN and KAU sorbents by copper and zinc didn't reduce sorption by them of microorganisms and their toxins. Inhibitory effect of a sorbent was provided by the lower concentrations of the copper and zinc than by those which in the solution of metallic salts had only bacteriostatic effect.
