Major part of the study is devoted to optimization of conditions for laboratory insect rearing, determination of lethal infectious doses after infection of Galleria mellonella larvae by methicillin re- sistant Staphylococcus aureus, implementation of methodical approach for assessing the relative acute toxicity of candidate antiinfective compounds, and establishment of laboratory manuals for routine histopathological studies. Methods: In the study Galleria mellonella larvae were reared in stable laboratory con- ditions (37 ◦ C) and in the presence of rich nutrition. Sowing method was used in or- der to obtain infectious LD50. In the preliminary study we focused on acute toxicity of tested compounds and on methodology optimization leading to histopathological...
