Methods of Diagnostics and Differentiation of the Plague Infectious Agent: Intraspecific Differentiation of Yersinia pestis. Part II

摘要

Problems and aspects of the intraspecific differentiation of the plague infectious agent are discussed. Special attention is paid to the necessity of a more precise definition of the taxonomic location of plague agents in view of their genotypic characteristics, selective virulence, and the evolutionary descent of the genus Yersinia.
