title: [Persistent properties of Brucella abortus isolated from various sources].
abstract: Persistence factors in 70 B. abortus strains isolated from different sources were studied. Depending on the source of the isolation of B. abortus, the spread of their antilysozyme, anticomplementary, antiintercidal activity was determined and intraspecific differences in the manifestation of these signs were established. The highest spread and manifestation of persistence factors was registered in B. abortus populations isolated from brucellosis patients and from cattle.
