Three bacterial species within the genus Yersinia are causative agents of human disease.
Yersinia pestis is transmitted by fleas or in aerosols, infects regional lymph nodes or lungs …

Plague is a zoonotic disease caused by Yersinia pestis, the etiological agent of pneumonic
and bubonic plague. Thirty-two individuals were vaccinated with Y. pestis EV line NIIEG and …

T helper 1 cells play a crucial role in the clearance of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection.
By producing cytokines and presenting antigens to T cells, activated macrophages can …

ABSTRACT The pH 6 antigen (pH 6 Ag; PsaA) of Yersinia pestis has been shown to be a
virulence factor. In this study, we set out to investigate the possible function of Y. pestis PsaA …

The virulence of the pathogenic Yersinia species depends on a plasmid‐encoded type III
secretion system (T3SS) that injects six Yersinia outer protein (Yop) effector proteins into the …

Increased interest in the pathogenic potential of Yersinia pestis has emerged because of the
potential threats from bioterrorism. Pathogenic potential is based on genetic factors present …

Yersinia pestis is the aetiological agent of plague, a disease of humans that has potentially
devastating consequences. Evidence indicates that Y. pestis evolved from Yersinia …

Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, has recently diverged from the less virulent
enteropathogen Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. Its emergence has been characterized by …

Resistance to infection with Yersinia pestis was found to depend on whether the
macrophage can inactivate and withstand the cytotoxic effects of phagocytized Y. pestis …

After a relatively short untreated interval, pneumonic plague has a mortality approaching
100%. We employed a murine model of aerosol challenge with Yersinia pestis to investigate …
