Novel genetic tools for diaminopimelic acid selection in virulence studies of Yersinia pestis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Molecular studies of bacterial virulence are enhanced by expression of recombinant DNA during infection to allow complementation of mutants and expression of reporter proteins in vivo.

Drug Target Insights, 2014 Plague is a major health concern and Yersinia pestis plays the central causal role in this disease. Yersinia pestis has developed resistance against the commonly available drugs. So, it is now a key concern to find a new drug target.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Yersinioses caused by Yersinia pestis, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, and Yersinia enterocolitica are significant concerns in human and veterinary health. The link between virulence and the potent LcrV antigen has prompted the latter's selection as a major

The interaction of Yersinia pestis with erythrocytes [PDF]
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2002 Human and murine erythrocytes (RBC) were invaded by Yersinia pestis in vivo and in vitro during a short period and were probably used as an essential source of iron and porphyrin for survival, effective gross multiplication and rapid spread of these bacteria in the bloodstream of mammals. Both iron and porphyrin were extracted by Y. pestis from the RBC

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis Typing Using Multi-Locus Variable-Number Tandem Repeat Analysis
Проблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2015 Estimated has been efficacy of MLVA25 method, used for differentiation and clusterization of Yersinia pestis strains, in reference to Yersinia pseudotuberculosis strains, as well as the search of Y. pseudotuberculosis strains mostly closely related to Y.

Yersinia pestis Lineages in Mongolia
PLoS ONE, 2012 Whole genome sequencing allowed the development of a number of high resolution sequence based typing tools for Yersinia (Y.) pestis. The application of these methods on isolates from most known foci worldwide and in particular from China and the Former Soviet Union has dramatically improved our understanding of the population structure of this species.

Methionine transport in Yersinia pestis [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1975 Yersinia pestis TJW, an avirulent wild-type strain, requires phenylalanine and methionine for growth. It was of interest to examine and define the methionine transport system because of this requirement. The methionine system showed saturation kinetics with a Km for transport of approximately 9 times 10(-7) M.
