Abstract:
The paper deals with the parallel examination of the resistance of intestinal bacteria and staphylococci to mercury and with testing for the presence of mercury in the basic constituents of the living environment. The results confirm that it is possible to use tests of bacterial resistance as a bioindicator of the contamination of the living environment with mercury.
