title: [Characteristics of microbial association in secretions of various mammalian sebaceous glands].
abstract: The following secretions of mammalian skin glands were subjected to a microbiological survey: the middle-abdominal glands of great and Mongolian gerbils, the preputial gland of musk deer, the perineal organ of African civet cat, the interdigital skin regions and interdigital glands of bison, European bison, European roe deer, and musk deer. All the secretions were found to contain microbial associations. The composition of bacterial species in the secretions and the quantity of microorganisms varied among different animal species, during the ontogenesis of an animal, and depended on the topography of a gland on an animal body as well as on its functional state in different seasons or upon hormonal changes. The secretions of certain glands contain factors which determine the composition of microbial species in a particular ecological niche and the stability of such a cenosis.
