This chapter outlines the physiology of Yersinia pestis with emphasis on identifying unique functions required for tissue invasion and acute disease. These activities are opposed to often incompatible processes expressed by very closely related Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, which causes localized gastrointestinal infection. Gain of new information in Y.

Yersinia pestis and the Plague
Pathology Patterns Reviews, 2003Yersinia pestis is the cause of plague, an illness that may manifest in bubonic, pneumonic, or septicemic form. Plague has killed an estimated 200 million humans throughout history, and plague is endemic in many areas of the world. Approximately 2,000 cases of plague are reported each year to the World Health Organization, and concern has been raised ...

Yersinia pestis from Natural Foci
2006Our results showed that the non-classical Y. pestis subspecies strains possessed properties of both the classical Y. pestis subspecies and those of Y. pseudotuberculosis, i.e. in this respect they could be placed between the causative agents of plague and pseudotuberculosis suggesting that they may form a step in the process of evolution of clasical Y.

Trends in Microbiology, 2001
The genome of Yersinia pestis has been sequenced and published in Nature, revealing genes with an unusually fluid structure, readily rearranging themselves and picking up new genes from other microorganisms. It appears to have picked up genes directly from baculoviruses that infect insects, including one for a toxin that damages the midgut. It has also

Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pestis
2018The genus Yersinia consists of 17 species, of which Y. enterocolitica, Y. pseudotuberculosis, and Y. pestis are pathogenic to humans. The former two are enteropathogenic and responsible for gastroenteritis, and the latter one is responsible for the plague. Y. enterocolitica and Y.

Bubonic plague is a flea-borne zoonosis caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Yersinia pestis, which mainly affects small burrowing mammals including domestic rats. Human disease occurs in endemic countries—currently mainly in Africa (including Madagascar)—following bites from fleas recently hosted by a bacteraemic animal.

Genetic Regulation of Yersinia pestis
2016Y. pestis exhibits dramatically different traits of pathogenicity and transmission, albeit their close genetic relationship with its ancestor-Y. pseudotuberculosis, a self-limiting gastroenteric pathogen. Y. pestis is evolved into a deadly pathogen and transmitted to mammals and/or human beings by infected flea biting or directly contacting with the ...

Uniquely insidious: Yersinia pestis biofilms
Trends in Microbiology, 2008Bubonic plague, one of history's deadliest infections, is transmitted by fleas infected with Yersinia pestis. The bacteria can starve fleas by blocking their digestive tracts, which stimulates the insects to bite repeatedly and thereby infect new hosts.
