Physiology of Yersinia pestis

2016
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 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.

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 ...

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 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

[Diagnosis of Yersinia pestis].

Zhonghua Minguo wei sheng wu ji mian yi xue za zhi = Chinese journal of microbiology and immunology, 1999
There is no plaque case report in Taiwan since 1952. However, it is necessary to set up a laboratory system to investigate the distribution of Yersinia pestis in the natural environment to implement the public policy for preventing plague. Besides the traditional methods; e.g.

THE METHYLOME OF YERSINIA PESTIS

2015
During the normal cycle of transfer between its vector (the flea) and a mammalian host, Yersinia pestis (Y. pestis) is exposed to significantly different environmental conditions. Studies have shown gene expression patterns in Y. pestis differ significantly under these separate conditions.

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: an instant species?

Trends in Microbiology, 2000
Y. pestis is considered a different species from Y. pseudotuberculosis because of the differences in the modes of transmission (fleas and contaminated food, respectively) and pathogenesis. These ecological differences have not only created genetic isolation, but also different selective pressures. If a strain of Y.
