Филогенетический анализ на основе выявленных 1918 коровых SNPs в геномах этих штаммов и 16 штаммов Y. pestis из NCBI GenBank установил наличие 5 кластеров близкородственных штаммов, с учетом которых нами усовершенствована подвидовая классификация возбудителя чумы. Новая классификация включает пять подвидов: основной (ssp. pestis ), кавказский (ssp. caucasica ), улегейский (ssp. ulegeica ) и два новых - центральноазиатский (ssp. central asiatica ) и ангольский (ssp. angola ). Центральноазиатский подвид объединяет эволюционно родственные штаммы, ранее отнесенные к алтайскому и гиссарскому подвидам, а также штаммы из Таласского высокогорного очага в Киргизии и Узбекистане и штаммы microtus из Китая. В составе центральноазиатского подвида выделено три биовара - алтайский, гиссарский и microtus. Предложено удобное обозначение штаммов: 0.PE4a для алтайских, 0.PE4h для гиссарских, 0.PE4t для таласских штаммов и 0.PE4m для штаммов microtus, а также 0.PE5 для штаммов улегейского подвида.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Carried out has been genome-wide sequencing of 20 Yersinia pestis strains from all 11 natural plague foci in Russia and some foci in the neighboring states. Phylogenetic analysis on the basis of 1918 core SNPs, identified in the genomes of these strains and 16 Y. pestis strains from NCBI GenBank, has revealed 5 clusters of closely related strains. Taking these clusters into account, up-dated has been subspecific classification of plague agent. New taxonomy has combined 5 subspecies: major (ssp. pestis ), Caucasian (ssp. caucasica ), ulegeisk (ssp. ulegeica ), and two novel ones - Central Asian (ssp. central asiatica ) and Angolan (ssp. angola ). Central Asian subspecie comprises evolutionally related strains, earlier classified as altaica and hissarica, as well as the strains from Talas high-mountain focus in Kirghizia and Uzbekistan, and microtus strains from China. Central asiatica is divided into three biovars - altai, hissar, and microtus. Set forward is a serviceable designation for the strains: 0.PE4a - for altai ones, 0.PE4h - for hissar, 0.PE4t - for talas, and 0.PE4m - for microtus, and also for ulegeica subspecie - 0.PE5.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>возбудитель чумы</kwd><kwd>подвиды</kwd><kwd>совершенствование классификации</kwd><kwd>plague agent</kwd><kwd>subspecies</kwd><kwd>updating of classification</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">Ерошенко Г.А., Одиноков Г.Н., Куклева Л.М., Павлова А.И., Краснов Я.М., Шавина Н.Ю., Гусева Н.П., Виноградова Н.А., Кутырев В.В.
