In Vitro	Decamethoxine (Septefril) has a wide spectrum of antimicrobial action on Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Pneumococcus), Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonoas, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis), protozoa, dermatophyte, yeast-like fungi of Candida genus, and viruses[1]. Decamethoxine at a concentration of 10 µg/ml drastically reduces the adhesion of coryneform bacteria, Salmonella, Staphylococcus, and Escherichia [2].
