Phylogeny and Classification of Through the Lens of Strains From the Plague Foci of Commonwealth of Independent States.

The established phylogeny of the etiological agent of plague, , is not perfect, as it does not take into account the strains from numerous natural foci of Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). We have carried out PCR and SNP typing of 359 strains and whole genome sequencing of 51 strains from these plague foci and determined the phylogenetic diversity of the strains circulating here. They belong to 0.
