Development of Phage-Based Single Chain Fv Antibody Reagents for Detection of Yersinia pestis [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Most Yersinia pestis strains are known to express a capsule-like antigen, fraction 1 (F1)(.) F1 is encoded by the caf1 gene located on the large 100-kb pFra plasmid, which is found in Y.

Yersinia pestis Lineages in Mongolia
PLoS ONE, 2012 Whole genome sequencing allowed the development of a number of high resolution sequence based typing tools for Yersinia (Y.) pestis. The application of these methods on isolates from most known foci worldwide and in particular from China and the Former Soviet Union has dramatically improved our understanding of the population structure of this species.

Yersinia pestis Plasminogen Activator
Biomolecules, 2020 The Gram-negative bacterium Yersinia pestis causes plague, a fatal flea-borne anthropozoonosis, which can progress to aerosol-transmitted pneumonia. Y. pestis overcomes the innate immunity of its host thanks to many pathogenicity factors, including plasminogen activator, Pla.
