Abstract
A brief review of low molecular weight compounds used to impart antibacterial properties to polymeric materials is presented. The main methods of introducing these compounds into the structure of polymers are considered. The prospects for the use of various antibacterial agents are analyzed from the point of view of creating materials capable of acting on antibiotic-resistant strains of microorganisms.
