The Origin of Bubonic Plague [PDF]

, 2006
Although some forms of the bacterium Yersinia are harmless, other forms have devastated human populations, causing a plague of biblical proportions (Psalm 91:3-7, Psalm 91:9-10,).

Group-theoretic models of the inversion process in bacterial genomes

, 2014
The variation in genome arrangements among bacterial taxa is largely due to the process of inversion. Recent studies indicate that not all inversions are equally probable, suggesting, for instance, that shorter inversions are more frequent than longer ...

Obtaining Specific Sequence Tags for Yersinia pestis and Visually Detecting Them Using the CRISPR-Cas12a System

Pathogens, 2021
Three worldwide historical plague pandemics resulted in millions of deaths. Yersinia pestis, the etiologic agent of plague, is also a potential bioterrorist weapon. Simple, rapid, and specific detection of Y.

Transfer of the virulence plasmid of Yersinia pestis to Yersinia pseudotuberculosis [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1985
Transposon Tn5 insertion derivatives of the virulence plasmid pYV019 of Yersinia pestis were transferred by P1 transduction into a plasmid-free strain of Y. pseudotuberculosis. One of these plasmid derivatives conferred virulence upon the Y. pseudotuberculosis strain.

Changes in cellular components of peritoneal fluid of white mice with infection caused by Yersinia pestis with different plasmid profile

Acta Biomedica Scientifica, 2014
The article presents the data on the influence of Yersinia pestis plasmid profile on subpopulation structure of mononuclear cells of peritoneal fluid of mice at the early stages of infectious process.

Detection of a Yersinia pestis gene homologue in rodent samples [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
A homologue to a widely used genetic marker, pla, for Yersinia pestis has been identified in tissue samples of two species of rat (Rattus rattus and Rattus norvegicus) and of mice (Mus musculus and Apodemus sylvaticus) using a microarray based platform ...

Monoclonal antibodies against Yersinia pestis lipopolysaccharide detect bacteria cultured at 28 degrees C or 37 degrees C.

, 2002
Four monoclonal antibodies were generated against Yersinia pestis lipopolysaccharide by immunising mice with a cell surface preparation from Y. pestis strain 1255. In an ELISA the monoclonal antibodies reacted with live whole cells of Y. pestis strain GB

Novel Colicin F-Y of Yersinia frederiksenii Inhibits Pathogenic Yersinia Strains via YiuR-Mediated Reception, TonB Import, and Cell Membrane Pore Formation [PDF]

, 2012
A novel colicin type, designated colicin F-Y, was found to be encoded and produced by the strain Yersinia frederiksenii Y27601. Colicin F-Y was active against both pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains of the genus Yersinia.

Comparative Proteomic Studies of Yersinia pestis Strains Isolated from Natural Foci in the Republic of Georgia [PDF]

, 2015
Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, is a highly virulent bacterium responsible for millions of human deaths throughout history. In the last decade, two natural plague foci have been described in the Republic of Georgia from which dozens of Y.

"Fleaing" the Plague: Adaptations of Yersinia pestis to Its Insect Vector That Lead to Transmission.

Annual Review of Microbiology, 2017
Interest in arthropod-borne pathogens focuses primarily on how they cause disease in humans. How they produce a transmissible infection in their arthropod host is just as critical to their life cycle, however.
