oncological diseases of the oral cavity. Materials and methods: 20 patients with
cancer in the oral cavity were selected from the surgical department No. 6 of the
Republican Oncology Center: reconstructive, plastic surgery, head and neck
tumors and onco-ophthalmology department. Their saliva was examined in the
Bacteriological Laboratory of the TTA multidisciplinary clinic, and blood agar,
VSA, endo, and Saburo media were used in the examination of patients.
Antibiotic sensitivity was checked by disk diffusion method. Analysis and
discussion of results. 75% of patients are men, 25% are women. In 15 patients,
10 men and 5 women, bacteria close to the normal microflora of the oral cavity,
