title: [Pathogenetic significance of the psychrophilia of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis].
abstract: The work presents the data indicating that the temperature of Y. pseudotuberculosis cultivation is very important in regulating the activity of pathogenicity factors, necessary for the initiation of the pathogenic process in the cells of the macroorganism. Low temperature (8-10 degrees C), necessary for the growth of Y. pseudotuberculosis, facilitates the activation of invasive and toxic pathogenicity factors. At a growth temperature of 37 degrees C the inhibition of such necessary attributes of virulence as adhesion and invasion into epithelial cells occurs in Y. pseudotuberculosis, which decreases the capacity of these bacteria for inducing the infectious process. The virulence of Y. pseudotuberculosis population, lost as the result of its cultivation in synthetic culture media at a temperature of 37 degrees C, has been found to be restored at low temperature.
