[Plasmids and mobile genetic elements of pathogenic Yersinia bacteria].
The review of literature is devoted to molecular and genetic organization of movable genetic elements responsible for synthesis of pathogenicity factors of Yersinia bacteria. General characterization of Yersinia pathogenicity factors is given. We analysed the role of plasmids in expression of the pathogenic properties of these bacteria and the role of IS elements of Yersinia in expression of genes encoding synthesis of the pathogenicity factors. Replicative properties of Yersinia plasmids are described. The role of chromosomal genes in regulation of synthesis of the plasmid-specific pathogenicity factors is discussed.
