DATA ON THE STUDY OF BACTERIAL CONTAMINATION OF ATMOSPHERIC AIR OF THE CITY OF ODESSA
Abstract
During the years of 1956 to 1960 the city bacteriological laboratory of Odessa conducted systematic bacteriological investigations of atmospheric air. Air samples were taken by means of a Krotov apparatus and by the precipitation method at eight points in the city of Odessa. The largest content of microorganisms were observed at points Nos. 1, 3, 5, and 6. In winter the quantity of microbes in 1 m super 3 of air was considerably lower than in summer. During rainfall or snowfall the number of colonies was two, three, or even four times less than the standard quantities in dry weather. Attention is drawn to the fact that 784 strains of representatives of the intestinal group of bacteria were isolated; of them 7 were Flexner's dysentery bacilla, 1 was a Newcastle dysentery bacillus, 1 was a Boyd Novogrodsky dysentery bacillus and 2 were Morgan's bacilli. Of the 524 isolated strains of intestinal bacilli, 24 were agglutinated with 0 coli serums, 17 of them with Flexner's serum.
