Материалы и методы. Исследуемые штаммы B. abortus, выделенные из патологоанатомического материала от крупного рогатого скота в Республике Бурятия в 2023–2024 гг. на территории, пограничной с Монголией, изучили бактериологически, с последующим секвенированием ДНК возбудителя и биоинформатическим анализом геномов. Проведен байесовский филогенетический анализ в BEAST v2.7.5. Результаты и обсуждение. Геномы штаммов охарактеризованы, проведен сравнительный анализ вариабельности штаммов с вакцинным B. abortus 82 и штаммами, выделенными в Монголии в 1999 и 2014 гг. Установлено, что все исследуемые штаммы относятся к одной клональной ветви B. abortus сиквенс-типа 2. Группа штаммов B. abortus вспышки 2023–2024 гг. появилась около 58 лет назад (95% HPD: 31,2–86,7) и близкородственна штаммам, выделенным на территории Монголии в 1999 и 2014 гг. Эволюционная скорость этой группы составила 1,8·10–7 замен на сайт в год (95% HPD: 2,5·10–8 – 1,84·10–6 замен на сайт в год). Уникальной мутацией, отличающей группу штаммов вспышки от штаммов B. abortus 82 и штаммов из Монголии, является дефект гена rbsB, вызванный мутацией с появлением стоп-кодона внутри рамки считывания. Этот ген участвует в энергозависимом переносе внеклеточной D-рибозы внутрь клетки и потенциально может снижать способность бактерии размножаться внутри клеток хозяина. В результате проведенного молекулярно-генетического исследования установлены причины и пути возникновения вспышки бруцеллеза среди крупного рогатого скота в Республике Бурятия в 2023–2024 гг.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The aim of the study was to identify genetic features and possible origin of Brucella abortus strains that caused the epizootic outbreak of brucellosis in the Republic of Buryatia in 2023–2024. Materials and methods. The studied B. abortus strains, isolated from pathoanatomical material from cattle in the Republic of Buryatia in 2023–2024 in the area adjacent to Mongolia, were examined bacteriologically, followed by pathogen DNA sequencing and bioinformatic genome analysis. Bayesian phylogenetic analysis was performed in BEAST v2.7.5. Results and discussion. The genomes of the strains have been characterized; a comparative analysis of strain variability has been conducted in relation to the vaccine strain B. abortus 82 and strains isolated in Mongolia in 1999 and 2014. It was established that all studied strains belong to a single clonal branch of B. abortus with sequence type 2. The 2023–2024 outbreak B. abortus group emerged approximately 58 years ago (95% HPD: 31.2–86.7) and is closely related to strains isolated in Mongolia in 1999 and 2014. The evolution rate of this group was 1.8·10–7 substitutions per site per year (95% HPD: 2.5·10–8 – 1.84·10–6 substitutions per site per year). The unique mutation distinguishing this group of strains from B. abortus 82 and Mongolian strains is a defect in the rbsB gene caused by a mutation resulting in a stop codon within the reading frame. This gene is involved in energy-dependent transport of extracellular D-ribose into the cell and may potentially reduce the bacterium’s ability to reproduce inside host cells. As a result of the molecular-genetic study, the causes and patterns of occurrence of the brucellosis outbreak among cattle in the Republic of Buryatia in 2023–2024 has been established.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Brucella abortus</kwd><kwd>эпизоотия</kwd><kwd>полногеномное секвенирование</kwd><kwd>байесовский филогенетический анализ</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Brucella abortus</kwd><kwd>epizooty</kwd><kwd>whole genome sequencing</kwd><kwd>Bayesian phylogenetic analysis</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Онищенко Г.Г., Куличенко А.Н., редакторы.
