Oligomeric coiled-coil adhesin YadA is a double-edged sword.
PLoS ONE, 2010 Yersinia adhesin A (YadA) is an essential virulence factor for the food-borne pathogens Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. Surprisingly, it is a pseudogene in Yersinia pestis.

HmsB, a small RNA, enhances biofilm formation in Yersinia pestis
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 The hmsHFRS operon is responsible for biosynthesis and translocation of biofilm matrix exopolysaccharide. Yersinia pestis expresses the two sole diguanylate cyclases HmsT and HmsD and the sole phosphodiesterase HmsP, which are specific for biosynthesis ...

Transport of Ca2+ by Yersinia pestis [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1987 Low-calcium-response, or Lcr, plasmids of yersiniae are known to promote an in vitro nutritional requirement for 2.5 mM Ca2+ at 37 degrees C which, if not fulfilled, results in cessation of growth with induction of virulence functions (Lcr+). The mechanism whereby Ca2+ regulates this metabolic shift is unknown.

Fibrinolytic and coagulative activities of Yersinia pestis [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013 The outer membrane protease Pla belongs to the omptin protease family spread by horizontal gene transfer into Gram-negative bacteria that infect animals or plants. Pla has adapted to support the life style of the plague bacterium Yersinia pestis. Pla has a β-barrel fold with 10 membrane-spanning β strands and five surface loops, and the barrel surface ...

Two fatal cases of plague after consumption of raw marmot organs
Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2020 Marmots are an important reservoir of Yersinia pestis and a source of human plague in Mongolia. We present two fatal cases of plague after consumption of raw marmot organs and discuss the distribution of natural foci of Y. pestis in Mongolia.

Zoonotic Focus of Plague, Algeria
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006 After an outbreak of human plague, 95 Xenopsylla cheopis fleas from Algeria were tested for Yersinia pestis with PCR methods. Nine fleas were definitively confirmed to be infected with Y. pestis biovar orientalis.
