This paper presents the results of a microbiological analysis of soil samples collected from the territory of Termez city (Uzbekistan). It was found that in samples with a high coliform index (more than 1000 coliform bacteria/kg), the total microbial count (TMC) significantly decreases compared to conditionally clean areas. An inverse correlation between the studied parameters was revealed. It is concluded that fecal contamination of soil under the climatic conditions of Termez leads to the suppression of saprophytic microbiota, which must be taken into account when assessing soil sanitation.
