Abstract
The postwar years were marked by a true revolution in the field of antibiotic therapy. Thanks to the widespread use of antibiotics, the mortality rate of a wide variety of human diseases decreased considerably. However, the total, not always reasonable, and sometimes even illiterate self-treatment, and failure to comply with the sequence of taking antibiotics has turned the sick person's body into a kind of microbiological laboratory for the production of new (antibiotic-resistant) strains of saprophytic microflora, many of which have acquired new pathogenic properties. That's why the main etiological factor of inflammatory processes in organs and various complications of infectious genesis are nowadays not Gram-positive bacteria, but opportunistic Gram-negative microorganisms.
