[Enteric microbiocenosis in the population of an industrial city]
Abstract:
According to the state of atmosphere, Irkutsk has been among 45 cities and towns of Russia with high levels of air pollution for tens of years. The body's normal microflora is directly related to environmental factors. The degree of a risk for dysbiotic disorders in intestinal microbiocenosis was estimated in the persons living in the industrial city's areas with different levels of ambient air pollution. A total of 400 apparently healthy individuals aged 1-14 and 15 years or older who lived in different areas of the city. Within one industrial city, the persons living in the "dirtiest" areas showed negative trends associated with bifidobacterium and lactobacillus deficiency and the widespread of Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans.
