GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT Abstract Two series of thiosemicarbazide derivatives and three series of s-triazolederivatives have been synthesized. All of these compounds were tested for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. Among tested thiosemicarbazide derivatives, the best bioactivity was detected for two 1-formylthiosemicarbazides with 3-/4-tolyl
