[Numerical analysis of the phenotypic properties and total genomic characteristics of strains of Yersinia pestis related to different subspecies].
The numerical analysis of the phenotypical properties of Y. pestis strains, classified with 5 subspecies by 60 signs, was carried out. In comparing the properties of strains belonging to the main (nomenclature) subspecies with strains of other subspecies, the similarity index varied within the range 82-95%. A high degree of genetic affinity between 21 Y. pestis strains of five subspecies was demonstrated by the method of molecular DNA-DNA hybridization. The level of DNA homology with respect to the alpha-CTP.[3H] reference mark of Y. pestis P-1300 in strains belonging to different subspecies was found to be 84-97%. The plasmid spectrum of 25 examined strains of these three subspecies proved to be identical and consisted of plasmids similar in their electrophoretic motility to marker plasmids from Y. pestis strains EV from the Research Institute of Epidemiology and Hygiene and Otten.
