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 Genotyping

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
To the Editor: Drancourt et al. (1) report the development of an original genotyping system for Yersinia pestis based on intergenic spacer sequencing. However, the approach appears to rely upon the characterization of polymorphisms due to tandem repeat variation.

Plasmids in Yersinia pestis [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1981
Pesticinogenic and Ca2+-dependent strains of Yersinia pestis harbored plasmids of about 6 and 45 megadaltons, respectively. In addition, most isolates examined possessed a cryptic 65-megadalton plasmid.
