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

Genome and Evolution of Yersinia pestis
2016This 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.

[Diagnosis of Yersinia pestis].
Zhonghua Minguo wei sheng wu ji mian yi xue za zhi = Chinese journal of microbiology and immunology, 1999There 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
2015During 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
2016As 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, 2000Y. 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.

Yersinia pestis as an Emerged Pathogen
2005Probably the most difficult potential biological weapon to counter is the genetically engineered threat. Although the bioengineering of microorganisms as weapons has been the subject of fiction in recent years (2), unfortunately it has become a reality (3–5).
