Abstract

Opportunistic microorganisms, which often become the etiological agents of hospital infections, are currently widespread. This problem requires constant attention from specialists to the study of the ways of circulation of these bacteria in the environment, especially those species that have a fecal-oral mechanism of distribution.Studies aimed at detecting bacteria belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family in milk and dairy products produced in private backyards made it possible to isolate 252 cultures belonging to this family. Among the isolated enterobacteria were representatives of the species Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterobacter cloacae, Citrobacter freundii, Serratia marcescens, Yersinia enterocolitica. Among these microorganisms there is a wide variety of strains that differ in ecological properties, range of hosts, pathogenicity for plants, animals and humans. A number of species cause gastrointestinal diseases, i.e. are enteropathogenic.
