Abstract

The article presented the findings of a comparative analysis of nasopharyngeal cultures sampled from healthy children. The patients were divided into two groups according to the anthropogenic impact of the district of residence. Two different anthropogenic areas revealed the same microbial flora of the nasopharynx. The quantitative methods demonstrated a higher bacterial content in the nasopharynx of children residing in a more environmentally friendly area.

Keywords

ecology, man-made pollution, microbiocenosis of nasopharynx, healthy children.
