    Abstract:
    The study of the main pathogenicity factors of C. diphtheriae (adhesive activity, toxigenicity, detection of tox+ gene) circulating in the Primorski Territory has been made. As revealed in this study, at the period of declined epidemic process due to mass immunization of the adult and child population against diphtheria the selection of C. diphtheriae strains with weak toxigenicity and low adhesiveness was observed. No strains having tox+ genes have been detected among C. diphtheriae nontoxigenic strains circulating in the Primorski Territory.
