The effect of acidin-pepsin solution at a concentration of 1:100 on newly isolated Yersinia cultures has been tested in three series of experiments. Acidin-pepsin has been found to exert a bactericidal effect on Yersinia and to induce the appearance of involutionary forms and large rod-shaped Yersinia cells with a better capacity for survival. The surviving Yersinia cells do not pass their resistance to acidin-pepsin on to their progeny and show low invasiveness and pathogenicity in white mice.
