Stone Age Yersinia pestis genomes shed light on the early evolution, diversity, and ecology of plague

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022
Significance The bacterium Yersinia pestis has caused numerous historically documented outbreaks of plague and research using ancient DNA could demonstrate that it already affected human populations during the Neolithic.

Yersinia pestis DNA from Skeletal Remains from the 6(th) Century AD Reveals Insights into Justinianic Plague. [PDF]

, 2013
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 ...

Human population dynamics and Yersinia pestis in ancient northeast Asia

Science Advances, 2021
Ancient genomes reveal a complex demographic picture since the post-LGM in northeast Asia and report the presence of Y. pestis. We present genome-wide data from 40 individuals dating to c.16,900 to 550 years ago in northeast Asia.

Yersiniabactin contributes to overcoming zinc restriction during Yersinia pestis infection of mammalian and insect hosts

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Transition metals are required for proper cellular function, which renders them critical for all life. To restrict bacterial infection, eukaryotic organisms actively sequester these transition metals, a concept referred to as nutritional ...

Transmission of Antimicrobial Resistant Yersinia pestis During a Pneumonic Plague Outbreak

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background Pneumonic plague (PP), caused by Yersinia pestis, is the most feared clinical form of plague due to its rapid lethality and potential to cause outbreaks. PP outbreaks are now rare due to antimicrobial therapy.

Tn-Seq Analysis Identifies Genes Important for Yersinia pestis Adherence during Primary Pneumonic Plague

mSphere, 2020
Following inhalation, Yersinia pestis rapidly colonizes the lung to establish infection during primary pneumonic plague. Although several adhesins have been identified in Yersinia spp., the factors mediating early Y.
