The sensitivity of film-forming strains of staphylococci, isolated from the respiratory tract, to bacteriophages drugs

Abstract

Aim. To determine the sensitivity of filmforming strains of staphylococci, isolated from the respiratory tract, to bacteriophages drugs Methods and results. It is established that biofilmforming ability was indicated in 16 (61.5 %) of the studied strains of Staphylococcus aureus, isolated from the upper respiratory tract of people. The remaining 10 (38.5 %) was not filmforming strains. Conclusion. It was determined that more than 80% of the film- and non-filmforming strains were sensitive to phages of the drugs «Piobaсteriophage» and «Staphylococcal bacteriophage», to drug «Intestiphage» was sensitive 56.3% filmforming strains and 70% non-filmforming strains.
