[Monitoring of life-threatening infection pathogens in relation to the problem of prediction of critical situations]

Abstract

The epidemic situation in the context of many infectious diseases caused by bacteria is presently assessed as being poor in Russia and other countries. The spectrum of the pathogens that can deteriorate epidemic well-being is highly wide. The epidemic situation in terms of many infectious diseases, including those caused by such causative agents as Bacillus anthracis, Vibrio cholerae, Yersinia pestis, Francisella tularensis and others may deteriorate due to the emergence of their modified forms owing to their specific variability. The above generates the necessity of improving controlling measures or developing the techniques for monitoring the pathogens of infectious diseases, including those in the framework of international cooperation.
