The results of the plasmid screening of Yersinia pestis strains isolated from four autonomous focuses on the northern border of the Central Asian zone of plague natural focality are presented. The plasmid profile of Yersinia pestis strains from the focuses is characterized as stable and independent of the source and time of strain isolation. The peculiar characteristic of the strains isolated in Tuva is the presence of an "additional" 15-16 Md plasmid in those strains.
