Commentary on Seersholm Et al.: Yersinia pestis Infection Is Not Synonymous With Deadly Plague in Neolithic Scandinavia. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Objectives Emerging genomic evidence has identified ancestral strains of Yersinia pestis in ancient human populations, which has sparked debates about its pathogenic role in later Neolithic societies. Here, we review published evidence linking anthropological and biological data reflecting the past natural history of Y.

Dynamic interaction of the Yersinia pseudotuberculosis type three secretion system proteins LcrV and LcrG. [PDF]

Protein Sci
Abstract Yersinia pathogenicity is dependent on polarized translocation of effector proteins via the type III secretion system (T3SS). The tip complex situated on the needle structure of the T3SS is required for contact with the eukaryotic host membrane and is to an extent composed of pentameric LcrV. LcrV is a multifunctional protein that also acts as

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis YopJ Limits Macrophage Response by Downregulating COX-2-Mediated Biosynthesis of PGE2 in a MAPK/ERK-Dependent Manner

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is an essential immunomodulatory lipid released by cells in response to infection with many bacteria, yet its function in macrophage-mediated bacterial clearance is poorly understood.

Infective Endocarditis by Yersinia Species: A Systematic Review

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2021
Yersinia spp. are non-spore-forming Gram-negative bacilli. They comprise only three species known to cause disease in humans, namely Y. pestis, Y. enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis.

Yersinia pestis and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection: a regulatory RNA perspective [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Yersinia pestis, responsible for causing fulminant plague, has evolved clonally from the enteric pathogen, Y. pseudotuberculosis, which in contrast, causes a relatively benign enteric illness. An ~97% nucleotide identity over 75% of their shared protein coding genes is maintained between these two pathogens, leaving much conjecture regarding the ...

High seroprevalence of pathogenic Yersinia spp. in sheep and goats across nine government farms in the Pakistani Punjab

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2019
Introduction: Seroprevalence of Y. enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis infections in animals and humans is not established in Pakistan. There are only a few reports on the prevalence of pathogenic Yersinia spp.

A Case Series of Diarrheal Diseases Associated with Yersinia frederiksenii

Infectious Disease Reports, 2021
To date, Yersinia pestis, Yersinia enterocolitica, and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis are the three Yersinia species generally agreed to be pathogenic in humans.

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis serotype O:1 infection in a captive Seba’s short tailed-fruit bat (Carollia perspicillata) colony in Switzerland

BMC Veterinary Research, 2021
Background Between February and April 2016, a slight increase in mortality was observed in a colony consisting of 400 captive Seba’s short-tailed bats (Carollia perspicillata).

Interaction of causative agents of sapronoses with the land plant Lithospermum erythrorhizon

Журнал микробиологии, эпидемиологии и иммунобиологии, 2022
Background. A significant role in the ecology of the sapronotic pathogens Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Listeria monocytogenes and in the epidemiology of the infections they cause is played by land plants used for food.

PSEUDOTUBERCULOSIS: PATHOGENETIC VALUE OF INNATE IMMUNITY CELLS

Журнал микробиологии, эпидемиологии и иммунобиологии, 2017
Novel data on mechanisms of innate immunity during infections with pathogenic Yersiniae are summarized in the review, that was mostly determined by complex developments regarding a unique pair of genetically related causative agents Y. pseudotuberculosis/
