In 1,494 pregnant women (on weeks 32-36) staphylococcal carriership was studied. One-third of the women under investigation were found to be carriers, their bacterial discharge increasing in spring and summer. The isolated strains proved to be polyresistant to antibiotics and belonged to epidemic strains. About a half of Staphylococcus aureus strains could not be identified with the use of the international set of phages.
