Various interrelations of mammals with some bacterial pathogens are analyzed. Plaque and tularemia are the most thoroughly investigated infectious diseases in this respect. The importance of a different degree of susceptibility and sensitivity to infection for its development in mammalian reservoirs is underlined.
