Abstract

Introduction. The widespread use of antibiotics in medical and veterinary practice has led to antibiotics becoming a new evolutionary factor for microorganisms and they have developed resistance to them, or in other words have won this «arms race».  The search and development of new antibacterial agents has become one of the most urgent tasks of our time [1-3].
