Rational taxonomy of Yersinia pestis

Molecular Genetics Microbiology and Virology (Russian version), 2019
Plague 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.

Genetic Regulation of Yersinia pestis

2016
Y. 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 ...

Characterization of the lipopolysaccharide of Yersinia pestis

Microbial Pathogenesis, 2001
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) extracted from eight strains of Yersinia pestis, which had been cultured at 28 or 37 degrees C, reacted equally well, in Western blots, with four monoclonal antibodies generated against the LPS from a single strain of Y. pestis cultured at 28 degrees C. LPS was extracted and purified from Y.

Pathology and Pathogenesis of Yersinia pestis

2016
Various types of animal models of plague have been developed, including mice, rats, guinea pigs, and nonhuman primates. Studies have indicated that rodent and nonhuman primate models of pneumonic plague closely resemble the human disease and that the pathologic changes that occur during bubonic plague are very similar in rodents, nonhuman primates, and

Genome and Evolution of Yersinia pestis

2016
This chapter summarizes researches on genome and evolution features of Yersinia pestis, the young pathogen that evolved from Y. pseudotuberculosis at least 5000 years ago. Y. pestis is a highly clonal bacterial species with closed pan-genome. Comparative genomic analysis revealed that genome of Y.

Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pestis

2018
The 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.

Immunology of Yersinia pestis Infection

2016
As a pathogen of plague, Yersinia pestis caused three massive pandemics in history that killed hundreds of millions of people. Yersinia pestis is highly invasive, causing severe septicemia which, if untreated, is usually fatal to its host. To survive in the host and maintain a persistent infection, Yersinia pestis uses several stratagems to evade the ...

Yersinia pestis sequence

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
