Background. Due to the instability of the international political situation,
the aim of the article is to study various methods of using biological agents as bio-logical weapons in peacetime.
Materials and methods. The authors examined and analyzed Russian and foreign literature that considers risks from the use of different types of biological weapons in peacetime in medical institutions. The researchers analyzed categories of biological agents, which are most likely to be used as biological weapons.
Results. The authors have revealed the most vulnerable places in hospitals, pre-sented a set of biological safety measures and described the features of bioterror-istic attacks in a medical facility.
Conclusions. The authors formulated the main principles of the medical facility integrated protection measures against biological weapons.
