Early evolutionary loss of the lipid A modifying enzyme PagP resulting in innate immune evasion in Yersinia pestis

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Immune evasion is a hallmark of Yersinia pestis pathogenesis, including loss of pathogen-associated patterns recognized by Toll-like receptors. During its life cycle, Y.

Molecular Characterization of Cysteine Protease YopT from by Homology Modeling and Binding Site Identification

open access: yesDrug 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.

Directional gene flow and ecological separation in Yersinia enterocolitica [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Yersinia enterocolitica is a common cause of food-borne gastroenteritis worldwide. Recent work defining the phylogeny of the genus Yersinia subdivided Y. enterocolitica into six distinct phylogroups. Here, we provide detailed analyses of the evolutionary

Novel genetic tools for diaminopimelic acid selection in virulence studies of Yersinia pestis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Yersinia pestis Lineages in Mongolia

open access: yesPLoS 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]

open access: yesJournal 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.

Polymorphism in the Yersinia LcrV Antigen Enables Immune Escape From the Protection Conferred by an LcrV-Secreting Lactococcus Lactis in a Pseudotuberculosis Mouse Model

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Role of immune response in Yersinia pestis infection

open access: yesJournal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2011
Yersinia pestis (Y. Pestis) is an infamous pathogen causing plague pandemics throughout history and is a selected agent of bioterrorism threatening public health. Y.

Bacteriophages fEV-1 and fD1 Infect Yersinia pestis

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Bacteriophages vB_YpeM_fEV-1 (fEV-1) and vB_YpeM_fD1 (fD1) were isolated from incoming sewage water samples in Turku, Finland, using Yersinia pestis strains EV76 and KIM D27 as enrichment hosts, respectively.

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis Typing Using Multi-Locus Variable-Number Tandem Repeat Analysis

open access: yesПроблемы 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.
