[Transition of entheropathogenic and saprotrophic bacteria in the eco-niche cycle: animals-excrement-soil-plants-animals].

The possibility of transition of saprotrophic and enteropathohenic bacterial populations following the chain of naturally related habitats--fodder-animal gastrointestinal tract (GIT)-animals excrement-soil-plants and again animals with a cyclic formation--has been investigated quantitatively. All bacteria used in the experiments have been shown to successfully overcome all the mechanical, physical-chemical, and biological barriers in the food chain and to come out into the environment with a quite high number. It has been demonstrated that the same bacterial population can pass the whole cycle without additional introduction of similar populations from the outside.

Psychophysiological parameters of 89 pilots were examined when they performed flight tasks on a trainer under normal and complicated conditions. The experiments helped to reveal a group of test subjects (11.2%) who had low capabilities and made serious errors. The results obtained suggest that psychophysiological examinations during simulated professional activity can be recommended as a method to be used for measuring adaptive and compensatory capabilities of pilots undergoing medical expertise.
