Oligomeric coiled-coil adhesin YadA is a double-edged sword.

open access: yesPLoS 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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

A decade of plague in Mahajanga, Madagascar: insights into the global maritime spread of pandemic plague [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A cluster of human plague cases occurred in the seaport city of Mahajanga, Madagascar, from 1991 to 1999 following 62 years with no evidence of plague, which offered insights into plague pathogen dynamics in an urban environment.

Transport of Ca2+ by Yersinia pestis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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]

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesEmerging 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

open access: yesEmerging 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.
