SILVER PSEUDOMONATE, COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING IT AND ITS USE IN TREATING PSEUDOMONAL INFECTIONS

摘要

Pseudomonic acid (I) is an antibiotic produced by aerobically culturing Pseudomonas fluorescens. CHEM A process is provided for producing silver pseudomonate which process comprises reacting silver ions and pseudomonic acid or pseudomonate ions in aqueous solution and thereafter recovering the silver pseudomonate so formed. Also provided is a method for treating wounds or burns infected with Pseudomonas organisms comprising administering a non-toxid anti-pseudomonally effective amount of silver pseudomonate to the wound or burn.
