The established phylogeny of the etiological agent plague, Yersinia pestis, is not perfect, as it does take into account strains from numerous natural foci Commonwealth Independent States (CIS). We have carried out PCR and SNP typing 359 whole genome sequencing 51 these plague determined phylogenetic diversity circulating here. They belong to 0.ANT3, 0.ANT5, 2.ANT3, 4.ANT branches antique biovar, 2.MED0, 2.MED1 medieval biovar 0.PE2, 0.PE4a. 0.PE4h, 0.PE4t branches. Based on studies 178 23...

Materials methods. Carried out has been sequencing 14 Y. strains, medieval biovar, 13 natural neighboring states, as well their comparison 9 same contained in NCBI GenBank database. Using software products - Wombac 2.0 Bionumerics 7.1, revealed presence 1875 core SNPs, on basis which...
Q fever is a zoonotic infectious disease characterized by fever, malaise, chills, significant weakness, and muscle pain. In some cases, the can become chronic affect inner membranes of heart, such as valves, leading to endocarditis high risk death. Coxiella burnetii (C. burnetii) primary causative agent in humans. This study aims monitor presence C. ticks collected from small mammals cattle Republic Guinea (RG).Rodents were trapped Kindia region RG during 2019-2020, six regions RG. Total DNA...
Many current gonococcal clinical isolates in Russia show atypical taxonomically significant biochemical activity, which leads to species misidentification. Molecular typing of such cultures according Neisseria gonorrhoeae multiantigen sequence (NG-MAST) and multilocus (MLST) protocols assigned them the G807 NG-MAST GENOGROUP/ST1594 MLST that has been predominant recent years. The goal study was analyze molecular mechanisms atypia N. characterized as members MLST. Sixteen this genogroup were...
Background. The number of syphilis cases in the Russian Federation increased significantly 2022. Control heterogeneity Treponema pallidum subtypes is important to monitor emergence and spread antibiotic-resistant strains Aims. To determine molecular resistance macrolides T. isolates isolated Methods. We analyzed DNA from 49 samples clinical material obtained patients dermatovenerological treatment prevention facilities three federal districts (CFD, SFD, SCFD) 2022 with diagnoses primary...
Syphilis belongs to the category of socially significant sexually transmitted infections, control which is one priorities in global health. The beginning twentieth century was marked by discovery causative agent syphilis and subsequent study both characteristics microorganism itself relationships “human population – treponema pallidum” system. review examines main milestones development domestic syphilidology from present. Despite emergence new highly informative research methods, problems...
Background: Many T.pallidum proteins have been evaluated for their diagnostic value. However, there are difficulties in diagnosing asymptomatic forms of syphilis, when sensitivity serologic methods may vary considerably. Therefore, the search more sensitive and specific antigens serological diagnosis syphilis continues.
