- if;
- salmonella;
- staphylococci;
- streptococci;
- shigella;
- on other bacteria of the simplest type - Coccidia and Toxoplasma gondi.
By structure, sulfamonomethoxin has similar properties with the structure of para-aminobenzoic acid. It causes a disruption in the synthesis of dihydrofolic acid in bacterial cells, as a result of which it leads to the prevention of the entry of para-aminobenzoic acid into the bacterial cell molecule.
The second active ingredient, trimethoprim, causes an increase in the effect of sulfamonomethoxin, which ultimately causes a violation of the reduction of dihydrofolic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid.
During the combined action, there is violation of the synthesis of folic acid in two successive stages.
This causes disruption of nucleotide synthesis, which determines the synergistic bactericidal effect of the complex of sulfamonomethoxin and trimethoprim.
