Results of comparison of the data on monosaccharide composition of glycocalix in group Bacillus--Lactobacillus--Streptococcus bacteria using biochemical and electronmicroscopic methods prove that the composition and quantity of monosaccharides varied depending on the genus and peculiarities of microorganisms strains (biological activity in respect of people and warm-blooded animals). At the same time, representatives of this group of microorganisms in the glycocalix had common monosaccharides: glucosamine, sialic acids, galactosamine, galactose, glucose, mannose, fucose, that is the phenotypical display of genetic relations.
