Abstract
The work deals with the results of the study of the viability of Y. pe stis strains, isolated from voles in different natural foci of plague, in human normal serum (HNS) and its dependence on the assimilation of ions of exogenic iron. The cultures isolated at the Transcaucasian mo untain focus of infection and having no small plasmid pYP were found h ighly sensitive to HNS. The introduction of the sources of iron, such as hemoglobin or ferritin, into the serum decreased its bactericidal e ffect.
