MICROFLORA OF SKIN ACCORDING TO THE RESULTS OF A SURVEY OF SANITARY AND EPIDEMIOLOGICAL WELL-BEING (BY THE EXAMPLE OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS)

Abstract

A differentiated comparison of skin microflora among groups of educational institutions is performed. Experimental groups included pupils of 8-10 classes, secondary school teachers from one of the districts of the Moscow region, university professors (Moscow State Regional University). A significant level of contamination of the skin of pupils by Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus is found. The level of contamination of the skin of teachers is more diverse but has a lower level of Escherichia coli lower than that of pupils. The level of contamination of the skin in university professors is generally lower than that of school teachers, which indicates a higher level of sanitary conditions in higher education institutions.
