Group cases of pseudotuberculosis, first registered at health-restoring institutions of the health resort of Gelendzhik (the Krasnodar Territory), are described. The etiology of these cases of the disease was established on the basis of clinico-epidemiological data, specific seroconversion in 66% of the examined patients and the isolation of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis strains from the feces of four patients. The combination of signs observed in the isolated strains, viz. the presence of plasmids with molecular weights of 75 and 45 MD, resistance to bactericidal factors of normal human serum and autoagglutination in cell culture medium, made it possible to consider these strains to be virulent. The cases of infection were probably caused by the use of fresh cabbage salad. The study of 3,128 rodents caught in the Krasnodar Territory, including those caught in the area of the health resort, resulted in the isolation of 105 Y. enterocolitica strains and strains of 5 other Yersinia species, but not Y. pseudotuberculosis strains. The concept on the saprozoonotic nature of pseudotuberculosis was substantiated. |
