We studied the comparative antibacterial efficacy of the birch fungus tincture and the Befungin drug. In the experiments, the official drug Befungin, birch fungus tincture and 6 field cultures of microorganisms of the intestinal group of calves isolated from patients with diarrhea (Citrobacter diversus, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) were use d. As a result, it was found that the Befungin drug and the birch fungus tincture retard the growth of testing cultures of the field virulent strains of pathogens: Citrobacter diversus, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa on artificial nutrient medium of the beef-extract agar.
