The structure and behavioral patterns of the human population affected by ixodid tick bites in Irkutsk Region, Eastern Siberia, Russia.

The bites of hard ticks are the major route of transmission of tick-borne infections to humans, causing thousands of cases of diseases worldwide. However, the characteristics of the human population that is exposed to tick bites are still understudied. This work is aimed at characterizing both the structure of the population directly contacting ticks and the human behavioral features associated with tick bites.

The relationship between the composition of the microbiota and functional intestinal disorders in obese adolescents.

Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) in children and adolescents are one of the most common pathologies of the digestive tract. The aim of the study was to study the structure of the colon microbiota in obese adolescents and to establish its relationship with the clinical manifestations of the disease FGIDs. The study included 20 adolescents aged 11-17 years.

Еvaluation of the sensitivity of bacteriophage preparations to Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from the colon microbiota in children with functional gastrointestinal disorders.

The level of sensitivity of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from children of the first half of life with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) to commercial bacteriophage preparations was assessed. The material was the feces of 67 children of the first half of life with FGID who are breastfed. Culture of K.

THE STRUCTURE OF THE INTESTINAL MICROBIOTA AND THE FREQUENCY OF DETECTION OF PATHOGENICITY GENES (STXI, STX2, BFP) IN ESCHERICHIA COLI WITH NORMAL ENZYMATIC ACTIVITY ISOLATED FROM CHILDREN DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF LIFE.

E. coli is an intestinal commensal of vertebrates. The ability to produce Shiga toxins (Stx) is the major virulence feature of Shiga toxin-producing E.

[THE SPECIES CHARACTERISTIC OF BIFIDOBACTERIA IN INTESTINAL BIOTOPE OF CHILDREN WITH FUNCTIONAL DYSPEPSIA].

The study was carried out to investigate species specter and combinational variety of bifidobacteria in children with functional dyspepsia. The examined sampling included 73 children with functional dyspepsia aged from 4 to 6 years. The comparison group according common characteristic of microbiota of large intestine included 100 healthy children comparative by age.

[The structure of intestinal dysbioses in children of preschool age during long-term period of monitoring].

The study was organized to examine long-term (1990-2011) structure of intestinal dysbioses in children of preschool age residing in Irkutsk. The significant decrease of expression of micro-ecological shifts (IV and III degrees) to the end of period of monitoring and almost total lacking of cases of eubiosis and statistically reliable (p ≤ 0.05) increasing of rate of dysbioses of I and II degrees were established.

[The detection of occurrence rate of genes coding capability to form pili binding in auto-strains of Escherichia coli].

E. coli is a commensal of intestine of the vertebrata. The exchange of genetic material of different types of bacteria between themselves and with other representatives of family of Enterobacteriaceae in intestinal ecosystem results in development of types of normal colibacillus with genetic characteristics of pathogenicity that can serve as a theoretical substantiation to attribute such strains to pathobionts.
