This chapter summarized the taxonomy and typing works of Yersinia pestis since it's firstly identified in Hong Kong in 1894. Phenotyping methods that based on phenotypic characteristics, including biotyping, serotyping, antibiogram analysis, bacteriocin typing, phage typing, and plasmid typing, were firstly applied in classification of Y.

Bacteriophages of Yersinia pestis
2016Bacteriophage play many varied roles in microbial ecology and evolution. This chapter collates a vast body of knowledge and expertise on Yersinia pestis phages, including the history of their isolation and classical methods for their isolation and identification. The genomic diversity of Y. pestis phage and bacteriophage islands in the Y. pestis genome

Rational taxonomy of Yersinia pestis
Molecular Genetics Microbiology and Virology (Russian version), 2019Plague is a zoonotic infection whose pathogenic agent has caused hundreds of million human deaths. A broad range of hosts and vectors, along with the geographical dispersion of natural plague foci characterized by different ecological conditions, contribute to the formation of the polytypic Y.

Molecular typing of Yersinia pestis
Molecular Genetics, Microbiology and Virology, 2013Techniques for differentiating single bacterial isolates into intraspecies clusters corresponding to subspecies, biovars, and natural foci are reviewed. The techniques under consideration are reproducible under different laboratory settings. A version of the intraspecies classification of Y.

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.
