Antibiotic resistence of non-pathogenic Bacillus spp. as an indicator of the general condition of human colon and soil micribioms

Abstract

The sensitivity to antibiotics of the non-pathogenic strains of bacteria of the genus Bacillus was investigated. Strains were isolated from the feces of healthy individuals, patients with colon dysbiosis, as well as food and pharmacological agents - tincture of Echinacea purpurea. It was established that antibiotic resistance of the non-pathogenic Bacillus spp. depends on the general condition of the colon microbiota and may serve as an indicator of soil contamination by microscopic fungi.
