Abstract
The set of Bacillus anthracis strains and their derivatives with distinct virulence was selected. The strains were characterized as regards phenotypic properties, VNTR-, SNP- and SNR-loci, plasmid composition, genes of toxin and capsule production, and some pathogenecity-related loci. Correlation between certain MLVA-genotype and a set of phenotypic properties indicative of the strains with altered virulence was revealed.
