Characterization of pPCP1 Plasmids in Yersinia pestis Strains Isolated from the Former Soviet Union

Complete sequences of 9.5-kb pPCP1 plasmids in three Yersinia pestis strains from the former Soviet Union (FSU) were determined and compared with those of pPCP1 plasmids in three well-characterized, non-FSU Y. pestis strains (KIM, CO92, and 91001).
