Abstract excerpt
Experiments were performed with two strains of plague bacteria--231 (isolated from marmot) and 358 (isolated from human) and their isogenic variants with Fra- and Fra-Tox- phenotype. Mutants resistant to rifampicin (Rifr) and nalidixic acid (Nalr) appeared independently of pathogen phenotype and genotype with frequency n.10(-8)-n.10(-9), subsequently. Rifr mutation influenced on virulence manifestation at albino...
