Ancient familial Mediterranean fever mutations in human pyrin and resistance to Yersinia pestis
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory disease caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous gain-of-function mutations in MEFV, which encodes pyrin, an inflammasome protein. Heterozygous carrier frequencies for multiple MEFV mutations

A novel mechanism of streptomycin resistance in Yersinia pestis: Mutation in the rpsL gene
Streptomycin is considered to be one of the effective antibiotics for the treatment of plague. In order to investigate the streptomycin resistance of Y. pestis in China, we evaluated streptomycin susceptibility of 536 Y.

Hotspots of genetic change in Yersinia pestis. [PDF]
The relative contributions of mutation rate variation, selection, and recombination in shaping genomic variation in bacterial populations remain poorly understood. Here we analyze 3318 Yersinia pestis genomes, spanning nearly a century and including 2336 newly sequenced strains, to shed light on the patterns of genetic diversity and variation ...

Comme aucune autre maladie, la peste incarne l’image de la mort. Maladie parmi les plus mortifères de l’histoire de l’humanité, fléau biblique, la « mort noire » s’est imposée dans la mémoire et l’imaginaire des peuples comme synonyme de malédiction, bouleversant le paysage économique, démographique, social et peut-être génétique des pays qu’elle a ...

Development of phage-based single chain Fv antibody reagents for detection of Yersinia pestis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Most Yersinia pestis strains are known to express a capsule-like antigen, fraction 1 (F1)(.) F1 is encoded by the caf1 gene located on the large 100-kb pFra plasmid, which is found in Y.

Use of whole-genus genome sequence data to develop a multilocus sequence typing tool that accurately identifies Yersinia isolates to the species and subspecies levels [PDF]
The genus Yersinia is a large and diverse bacterial genus consisting of human-pathogenic species, a fish-pathogenic species, and a large number of environmental species.
