Abstract

The available in the literature information on the pathogenic patterns of yersiniae, peculiar properties of the molecular and genetic mechanisms that regulate the expression of the factors of the pathogenesis are analysed and summarized. Data on the role of different environmental factors for the regulation of the genes of virulence are presented. The further perspectives for the study of genetic control of pathogenesis and mechanisms of interaction of yersiniae with the host are highlighted.
