Abstract

This work presents results of the study on the environment prevalence of spores of aerobic bacteria, which are of potential danger to human health. The investigation of swabs from handles of supermarket trolleys revealed on their surface the presence of a large number of spores of unrelated pathogenic bacteria carrying as antibiotic resistance genes and the origin of genes protected by bacterial spores from harmful environmental conditions as well. The high resistance of bacterial spores to antiseptics and disinfectants can be considered as the reason for the their accumulation in the environment.
