The article discusses the technique of quantitative evaluation of capacity of opportunistic pathogenic microorganisms to form biofilm by means of measuring the contact angle of moistening of its surface. The specific rates of biofilm formation by hospital strains of microorganisms are determined. It is demonstrated that P. aeruginosa form biofilm on surface of glass plate better than S. aureus and C. albicans do.
