We researched the sensitivity to disinfectants and the ability to form a biofilm of coagulase-negative staphylococci circulating in a children’s hospital in Nizhny Novgorod. It is shown that the most common resistance to disinfectants and a high degree of biofilm formation was observed in S. haemolyticus cultures. A comparison of testing sensitivity to the Avansept disinfectant planktonic cells of coagulase-negative staphylococci and the same strains in the form of a biofilm was performed. It was found that the resistance to «Advance» significantly increases in strains grown in the form of biofilm compared with plankton cultures.
