Immune evasion through membrane remodeling is a hallmark of Yersinia pestis
pathogenesis. Yersinia remodels its membrane during its life cycle as it alternates between …

Yersinia pestis is an important human pathogen that is maintained in flea-rodent enzootic
cycles in many parts of the world. During its life cycle, Y. pestis senses host-specific …

Pathogenic bacteria may modify their surface to evade the host innate immune response.
Yersinia enterocolitica modulates its lipopolysaccharide (LPS) lipid A structure, and the key …

Maintenance of phospholipid (PL) and lipopoly-or lipooligosaccharide (LPS or LOS)
asymmetry in the outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria is essential but poorly …

Important pathogens in the genus Yersinia include the plague bacillus Yersinia pestis and
two enteropathogenic species, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Yersinia enterocolitica. A …

ABSTRACT Synthesis of Escherichia coli LpxL, which transfers a secondary laurate chain to
the 2′ position of lipid A, in Yersinia pestis produced bisphosphoryl hexa-acylated lipid A at …

Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, can be transmitted by fleas by two different
mechanisms: by early-phase transmission (EPT), which occurs shortly after flea infection, or …

Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a cell wall component characteristic of Gram-negative
bacteria, is a representative pathogen-associated molecular pattern that allows mammalian …

Inducible membrane remodeling is an adaptive mechanism that enables Gram-negative
bacteria to resist killing by cationic antimicrobial peptides and to avoid eliciting an immune …

Pathogenic biotypes of Yersinia enterocolitica (serotypes O: 3, O: 8, O: 9, and O: 13), but not
environmental biotypes (serotypes O: 5, O: 6, O: 7, 8, and O: 7, 8, 13, 19), increased their …
