The impact of systemic homeostatic regulator — associates of peroxide anion radicals on the activity of microorganisms

Introduction. This work is devoted to the study of the effect of peroxide anion radicals in submicromol concentrations and the structural organization of the associated water phase in drinking waters, activated by physical methods on the viability of a number of microorganisms in the human gastrointestinal tract.

Materials and methods. Studies were carried out using standard methods of microbiological analysis of drinking water on microorganisms of Escherichia coli 1257, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enteritidis 5765, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Klebsiela pneumoniae subsp. pneumoniae ATCC 700603, Citrobacter freundii 101/57. Evaluation of changes in the physical parameters of water before and after treatment with the studied technologies was carried out using electrophysical and physical-chemical parameters (hydrogen index, redox potential, content of peroxide anion radical); structural and energy indicators (by the share of the associated water phase and the density of its distribution by energy levels).

Results. The data obtained indicate the strongest stabilizing effect on the viability of microorganisms implementing ATP-phase energy metabolism to be exerted by associates of peroxide anion radicals controlling metabolic processes and providing an extra-substrate channel for maintaining the energy function of microorganisms. We assume that catalytically active waters have a systemic regulatory effect, ensuring the maintenance of homeostasis of microorganisms. Similar regulation is also possible in the intestinal microbiota of the body to maintain or suppress the activity of competing microorganisms when a person uses biocatalytically active (in the range of concentrations of peroxide anion radicals in drinking water from 0.1 to 40 drinking water µg/L) drinking water. We assume that this will solve a number of issues related to the etiology and pathophysiology of a number of gastroenterological diseases caused by changes in the electrophysical state of the internal environment of the gastrointestinal tract, promoting the emergence and development of a competing, adapted to an environment with low electron-donor capacity, bacterial microbiota.

Limitations. The data obtained as a result of the experiment on biota similar to the human intestinal microbiota are of scientific interest and research involving warm-blooded animals is necessary to continue work in this direction.

Conclusion. Physically treated waters affect the growth or inhibition of intestinal biota colonies, which may be associated with the controlling role of peroxide anion radicals on intracellular metabolic processes in microorganisms.
