[The resident staphylococcal bacterial carriage in a human population as an index for the microecological monitoring of its habitat environment].

The informative character of staphylococcal persistence factors (antilysozyme and "anti-interferon" signs) as the indices of resident staphylococcal carrier state in the microecological monitoring of the aerial environment was determined. In areas, ecologically unfavorable with respect to the occurrence of diseases of respiratory organs and to the level of air pollution, staphylococcal strains with persistence factors were isolated from children 3 times as often as in areas with low levels of morbidity in respiratory diseases and environmental pollution. The background level resident staphylococcal carrier state was determined (8.1%), permitting the evaluation of the ecological loading and the mapping of the monitored territories.
