It is shown that the number of detected CBM in the contaminated territories (from human and ornithogenic load) greatly exceeds the number in ecologically clean regions of the Antarctic, and the contamination of CBM by outside microbiota in disturbed ecosystems increases by 1,5–3 times. Detection of pathogenic strains of <em>Yersinia enterocolitica</em> as well as opportunistic pseudomonads and micromycetes in the CBM which are formed near the polar stations is the basis for the ecological and epidemiological monitoring in areas of human presence in Antarctica.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Biological Communications}, author={Panin, Alexander and Bogumilchik, Elena and Sharov, Andrey and Vlasov, Dmitrij and Zelenskaya, Marina and Tolstikov, Alexey and Teshebaev, Shamil and Tseneva, Galina and Kraeva, Ludmila and Sboichakov, Victor and et al.}, year={2013}, month={Jun.}, pages={3–11} }
