title: [The action of bacterial antagonists on the aerobic microflora of human skin].
abstract: The authors have investigated antagonistic action of museum strains-antagonists Bacillus subtilis 2896, B. licheniformis 254 and Escherichia coli M-17 against 698 strains of staphylococci, 518 micrococci, 315 corynebacteria, 74 aerobic bacilli and 26 enterobacteria isolated from the surface of stomach and skin of 102 healthy people of different sex. The investigations have shown that B. subtilis 2896 and E. coli M-17 were most active: they inhibited the growth of micrococci, corynebacteria, bacilli, enterobacteria and pseudomonads. Bacteria B. licheniformis have manifested the less antagonistic effect of representatives of skin microbiocenoses. These are B. subtilis and E. coli M-17 that are recommended for clinical testing with the purpose of correction of skin microbiocenoses and for preventing from the development of pyo-septic complications of skin.
