The article deals with the adaptation of the existing method of the isolation of microorganisms from parietal mucin of the intestine of experimental animals (rats) with a view to ensure the methodological uniformity of investigations. The effectiveness of the method of sparing disintegration of parietal mucin taken from the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract, specially developed for human biomaterial, and its adequacy for microbiological investigations of the digestive organs of rats have been confirmed. A certain similarity between the microbiocenosis of the parietal mucin in the intestine of humans and rats has been established.
