title: [Analysis of the plasmid composition of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis strains and its use for typing pseudotuberculosis pathogens].
abstract: Electrophoresis in agarose gel has been used to study the plasmid spectra of 854 Yersinia pseudotuberculosis strains isolated from different sources. The plasmids found in the microbial strains are represented by the elements with molecular masses 82; 57; 45; 5.5; 4.4; 3.5; 2.7; 2.4; 2.3 Md. The variable spectra of plasmids is peculiar only for serovar I of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. Plasmids p45 and p82 are classified as the main, while other plasmids as auxiliary ones. In accord with the classification all plasmid containing strains are divided into 8 plasmid strains. Using the proposed method for intraspecific typing of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis permits one to perfect the epidemiological analysis of pseudotuberculosis infection and make concrete the direction of prophylactic and antiepidemic measures.
