Abstract
The spread of microorganisms of Legionella genus is a significant problem of ecology of microorganisms. Being widely spread, these microorganisms remain uncultivated. The aim of our research was to reveal spreadштп of microbes of Legionella genus in natural and anthropogenic ecosystems in order to define the role of Legionella pneumophilla. Methods: we studied 150 samples received from the natural (75 samples) and anthropogenic (75 samples) ecosystems. The strains of Legionella pneumophilla were identified with PCR. Results: the strains of Legionella genus were identified in 37.7 % (28/75) of all samples obtained from the natural ecological niches and in 33.3 % (25/75) of the samples obtained from the anthropogenic ecological niches. Discussion of the results: the Legionella strains play a significant role in the association of water microorganisms.
