Comme aucune autre maladie, la peste incarne l’image de la mort. Maladie parmi les plus mortifères de l’histoire de l’humanité, fléau biblique, la « mort noire » s’est imposée dans la mémoire et l’imaginaire des peuples comme synonyme de malédiction, bouleversant le paysage économique, démographique, social et peut-être génétique des pays qu’elle a ...

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]
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.

Emergence and spread of ancestral Yersinia pestis in Late-Neolithic and Bronze-Age Eurasia, ca. 5,000 to 2,500 y B.P [PDF]
First paragraph: Evolutionary history of any living organism is as fascinating as it is complex. The causative agent of plague, the bacterium Yersinia pestis, is no exception. Having diverged from the enteropathogen Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, ancestral

Yersinia pestis DNA from Skeletal Remains from the 6(th) Century AD Reveals Insights into Justinianic Plague. [PDF]
Yersinia pestis, the etiologic agent of the disease plague, has been implicated in three historical pandemics. These include the third pandemic of the 19(th) and 20(th) centuries, during which plague was spread around the world, and the second pandemic ...

Yersinia type III secretion : send in the effectors [PDF]
Pathogenic Yersinia spp (Yersinia pestis, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, and Yersinia enterocolitica) have evolved an exquisite method for delivering powerful effectors into cells of the host immune system where they inhibit signaling cascades and block ...
