A problem of utilizing the microflora producing biologically active substances with a view to elaborating a microbial pharmacotherapy is discussed. The principle of this kind of therapy is to arrest pathological processes and to correct biochemical processes in the organism by means of "beating up" the strains-producers of biologically active substances. Substances secreted by strains-producers, are capable to suppress the growth of pathogenic microflora and malignant tumors as well as to correct physiological and pathological processes, may be utilized in future for a microbial saprotrophic pharmacotherapy depending on indications.
