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 ...

Human population dynamics and Yersinia pestis in ancient northeast Asia
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.

Small Insertions and Deletions Drive Genomic Plasticity during Adaptive Evolution of Yersinia pestis
The life cycle of Yersinia pestis has changed a lot to adapt to flea-borne transmission since it evolved from an enteric pathogen, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.

Transmission of Antimicrobial Resistant Yersinia pestis During a Pneumonic Plague Outbreak
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.
