Abstract

The article presents results of soil research from agroecosystems where cultivated medicinal plants: Mentha piperita, Inula helenium, Thymus serpillum, Rosa odorata, Calendula officinalis. Verification and identification of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms were done. A total of 106 isolates from soil of agro ecosystem with medicinal plants were examined for resistance to 9 antibiotics. Two bacteria Serratia marcescens and Yersinia enterocolitica isolated from soil with cultivated Thymus serpillum have displayed the moderate resistance to most of tested antibiotics. From the rizosphere of Inula helenium was isolated one of the most antibiotics resistant bacteria among of others tested — Pantoea agglomerans. Serratia odorifera biogroup 1 was isolated from agroecosystem of Mentha piperita and used for tests. Strain was resistant to vancomycin, lincomycin, ampicillin and moderately resistant to cefepime. From agroecosystems of Calendula officinalis and Rosa odorata, where used organic manure, high level of antibiotic resistance was detected for Enterococcus faecalisss and Bacillus cereus. Isolated pathogenic and opportunistic pathogenic microorganisms: Serratia marcescens, Bacillus cereus, Enterococcus faecalis, Serratia odorifera biogroup 1, Pantoea agglomerans, Yersinia pestis, possess antibiotic resistance and are the risk factors for human health
