The article examines the contribution of Zinaida Ermolyevato the production of penicillin during the Great Patriotic War.The study is relevant because it highlights the importance of scientific achievements in saving soldiers' lives. The purpose of the work is to analyze the scientist's contribution to thedevelopment of domestic antibiotic production technology andto assess its impact on the medical care of the army during thewar years. During World War II, Ermolyeva fought the choleraepidemic in Stalingrad by organizing the production of bacteriophage in the basement. She also created domesticpenicillin "custosin" in 1942, which began mass production in1943. Successful tests were conducted on the Baltic Front in1944. Ermolyeva was called the "marshal of the invisible front"for her achievements. In the course of the work, it was found outthat thanks to Ermolyeva's scientific discoveries, mortalityamong wounded soldiers decreased by more than half, and the created methods of using antibiotics became the basis for the development of domestic antibiotic therapy after the war. Inconclusion, it was concluded that Zinaida Ermolyeva made a huge contribution not only to the development of medicine, butalso to the victory in the Great Patriotic War. The soldiers shesaved returned to the battlefields, selflessly moving towardsvictory over fascism.
