Influence of chemical and physical characteristics of two types of seashore soils (tidal marsh and maritime meadow soils) in Primorsky region on reproduction of Listeria monocytogenes and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis was studied. Results of experiments proved the possibility of preservation and active reproduction of these bacteria in studied soils. Characteristics of maritime meadow soil are more favorable for mentioned microorganisms than tidal march soil that located closer to the sea.
