Abstract
Biofilm formation by Yersinia pestis strains of the main and non-main subspecies and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis was studied on the model of Caernorabditis elegans. It was shown that plague agent strains that did not form pigmented colonies on a medium with Congo red (Pgm-) did not produce biofilm at the head and neck surfaces of nematode. Pgm+ strains of the main and non-main subspecies of plague microbe are able to form biofilm at cuticle of nematode C. elegans, the expression of this feature being unequal in various strains.
