The typing of F. tularensis strains by four variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) loci has been carried out. Among the strains isolated in the Stavropol and Krasnodar Territories seven genotypes have been detected and their spread in different natural foci has been analyzed. The data thus obtained suggest that the VNTR analysis may become an important instrument for studying the structure of the natural foci of tularemia and evolutionary relationships between individual areas of these foci.
已通过四个可变串联重复序列（VNTR）位点对土拉弗朗西斯菌菌株进行了分型。在斯塔夫罗波尔和克拉斯诺达尔地区分离出的菌株中，检测到了七种基因型，并分析了它们在不同自然疫源地中的分布情况。由此获得的数据表明，VNTR分析可能成为研究兔热病自然疫源地结构以及这些疫源地各个区域之间进化关系的重要工具。
