[Factors providing the blocking activity of Yersinia pestis]
Abstract
Discusses published data on the specific mechanism of Y. pestis transfer by "blocked" fleas. Special attention is paid to individual phenotypical signs and genetic determinants of Y. pestis whose expression correlates with the blocking activity of bacteria. Prospects for further research are outlined.
