Yersinia pestis pathogenicity

open access: yesЖурнал микробиологии, эпидемиологии и иммунобиологии, 2019
Yersinia pestis belongs to those pathogenic bacteria which produce lipopolysaccharide (LPS) having the function of a toxin. In order to make a toxic effect the polymer must be separated from the cell outer membrane and presented to the immunocompetent ...

Yersinia pestis Plasminogen Activator

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
The Gram-negative bacterium Yersinia pestis causes plague, a fatal flea-borne anthropozoonosis, which can progress to aerosol-transmitted pneumonia. Y.

Yersinia pestis: the Natural History of Plague

open access: yesClinical Microbiology Reviews, 2020
The Gram-negative bacterium Yersinia pestis is responsible for deadly plague, a zoonotic disease established in stable foci in the Americas, Africa, and Eurasia. Its persistence in the environment relies on the subtle balance between Y.

High-throughput analysis of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis gene essentiality in optimised in vitro conditions, and implications for the speciation of Yersinia pestis [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2018
Background Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is a zoonotic pathogen, causing mild gastrointestinal infection in humans. From this comparatively benign pathogenic species emerged the highly virulent plague bacillus, Yersinia pestis, which has experienced ...

Evolutionary selection of biofilm-mediated extended phenotypes in Yersinia pestis in response to a fluctuating environment

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, can change its biofilm production to influence the dynamics of flea-borne transmission. Here, the authors sequence Y.

Phylogeography of the second plague pandemic revealed through analysis of historical Yersinia pestis genomes

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
The second plague pandemic, caused by Yersinia pestis, started in the 14th century and recurred in Europe until the 18th century. Here, the authors reconstruct ancient Y.

Yersinia pestis Targets the Host Endosome Recycling Pathway during the Biogenesis of the Yersinia-Containing Vacuole To Avoid Killing by Macrophages

open access: yesmBio, 2018
Yersinia pestis has evolved many strategies to evade the innate immune system. One of these strategies is the ability to survive within macrophages. Upon phagocytosis, Y.

Plasmids in Yersinia pestis [PDF]

open access: bronzeInfection 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.

Yersinia pestis Genotyping

open access: yesEmerging 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.
