Pathogenic Yersinia species possess a type III secretion system, which is required for the
delivery of effector Yop proteins into target cells during infection. Genes encoding the type III …

Conclusion Y. pestis Ymt and Hms proteins have complementary but distinct roles. Ymt is
required for survival in the midgut compartment, but not the proventriculus compartment, of …

In an effort to identify the novel virulence determinants of Yersinia pestis, we applied the
gene “discovery” methodology, in vivo-induced (IVI) antigen technology, to detect genes …

Yersinia pestis is the causative agent of plague. Unlike the other pathogenic Yersinia
species, Y. pestis has evolved an arthropod-borne route of transmission, alternately infecting …

ABSTRACT The bacterial SmpB-SsrA system is a highly conserved translational quality
control mechanism that helps maintain the translational machinery at full capacity. Here we …

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 …

Plague, initiated by Yersinia pestis infection, is a rapidly progressing disease with a high
mortality rate if not quickly treated. The existence of antibiotic-resistant Y. pestis strains …

The live plague vaccine strain Y. pestis EV line NIIEG widely used for human and animal
immunisation proves a high level of specific immunity against both bubonic and pneumonic …

Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of deadly plague, is considered a reemerging infectious
disease and a significant biological terrorism threat. The present project focused on …

The abilities of Yersinia pestis to undergo restriction in Ca2+-deficient medium with
concomitant production of V and W antigens (Vwa+) and to absorb exogenous pigments …
