Objective. To assess the ability of clinical isolates of opportunistic microorganisms to accumulate biofilm biomass under the influence of composite disinfectants.
Materials and Methods. The study included 53 strains (49 – K. pneumoniae, 4 – P. aeruginosa) obtained from two multidisciplinary children’s hospitals at the city and regional levels. Specimens were collected from different loci of patients, medical devices, and environmental objects. To assess the reaction of biofilms (BF) of clinical isolates to the effects of disinfectants (DIs), three composite DIs were used: No.
