title: [Molecular typing of Yersinia pestis].
abstract: Techniques for differentiating single bacterial isolates into intraspecies clusters corresponding to subspecies, biovars, and natural foci are reviewed. The techniques under consideration are reproducible under different laboratory settings. A version of the intraspecies classification of Y. pestis that is in harmony with the International Code of Nomencláture of Bacteria is suggested.
