Abstract. Today, antibiotics belong to the most profusely used medications both in human and veterinary medicine. For the production of the antibiotics, as well as for the discovery of new structures, biotechnological procedures compete with synthetic ones. The choice of the optimum procedure is complex and due attention must be given to the ecological aspect.
Key words: biotechnology, antibiotics, production, new structures

ZNAČAJ I PREDNOSTI BIOTEHNOLOŠKIH POSTUPAKA
ZA PROIZVODNJU ANTIBIOTIKA
I PRONALAŽENJE NOVIH STRUKTURA
Antibiotici spadaju danas u terapeutska sredstva koja se najčešće primenjuju u humanoj i veterinarskoj medicini. Za proizvodnju antibiotika, kao i za pronalaženje novih struktura, međusobno konkurišu biotehnološki i sintetički postupci. Izbor optimalnog postupka je kompleksne prirode, a značajna pažnja mora da se posveti ekološkom aspektu.
