The results of bacteriological study of mucus from throat (818 specimens) and nose (796 specimens), collected in outpatient conditions in industrial region inhabitants (Left Bank, Dnipro city) are analyzed. 509 strains of microorganisms from throat and 302 from nose were isolated. Strains of pathogens and conditional pathogens in the oro- and nasopharynx of healthy individuals were revealed. Staphylococcus aureus is the dominant causative agent of both microbiotes with a high isolation frequency, especially from the nose. Pathogenic Streptococci and yeast fungi are also isolated from the throat, and from the nose - Haemophilus influenzae. The frequency of other pathogens isolation is not high. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
