Five microbes-antagonists are studied for their inhibitory action on 769 strains of bacilli (241) and corynebacteria (528) isolated from the mammary gland skin of 120 nursing women on the 2nd-5th day after labour. Escherichia coli M-17 and Mycococcus krassilinikovi are established to possess the highest antagonistic properties against the spore-bearing aerobic and coryneform bacteria. Bifidobacterium bifidum has exerted a moderate antagonistic action on the culture under study, Bacillus subtilis has exerted a strong inhibitory action on corynebacteria. B. licheniformis has slightly inhibited the both bacterial groups.
