The influence of sex steroid hormones on the antilysozyme activity and growth characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus was studied. The study revealed that in the process of the cultivation of S. aureus in the presence of the hormones the antilysozyme of these bacteria became lower and the degree of heterogeneity of the population with regard to the sign under study decreased. The nonuniform influence of the hormones on the growth characteristic of staphylococci was registered. The data obtained in this study may be used for explanation of mechanisms of the formation of the microbiocenosis of the reproductive system.
