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.
