[The colonization of plants by Yersinia pestis EV in an experiment].
The penetration of Y. pestis (strain EV) into the stem of Impatiens walleriana via its roots, submerged into microbial suspension, was observed under experimental conditions. This was indicative of the colonization of plants by Y. pestis, thus confirming the possibility of their preservation in plants during periods between epizootics at the territories of natural foci.
