O A Poltavs'ka, and N K Kovalenko

Literature data, concerning current state of taxonomy of microorganisms of genus Bifidobacterium are presented in the review. The question of creation of necessary conditions for accurate identification of these bacteria has been revealed, as well as the basic principles of novel molecular-genetic approaches for microorganisms' typing (as they are used for the detection and identification of bifidobacteria) have been described. Main information sources in systematics, classification and nomenclature have been listed. The paper is presented in Ukrainian.
