Scientists first time use method to search for bacteria in air near bird nests in Arctic

AI Summary

Scientists conducted a novel method to search for bacteria in the Arctic air near bird nests, finding high concentrations of coliform bacteria that could spread pathogenic or opportunistic bacteria via microbial aerosols.

The expedition participants established that the coliform bacteria's concentration near large bird colonies reaches a level where there is a possibility of spreading pathogenic or opportunistic bacteria in microbial aerosols formed around bird rookeries
