Technological advances in DNA recovery and sequencing have drastically expanded the
scope of genetic analyses of ancient specimens to the extent that full genomic investigations …

The genus Yersinia consists of 15 species (www. bacterio. cict. fr/xz/yersinia. html), and only
three of them, Y. pestis, Y. pseudotuberculosis, and Y. enterocolitica, are pathogenic to …

Yersinia pestis, the etiologic agent of plague, is a bacterium associated with wild rodents
and their fleas. Historically it was responsible for three pandemics: the Plague of Justinian in …

This chapter summarizes researches on genome and evolution features of Yersinia pestis,
the young pathogen that evolved from Y. pseudotuberculosis at least 5000 years ago. Y …

Yersinia pestis causes the fatal respiratory disease pneumonic plague. Y. pestis recently
evolved from the gastrointestinal pathogen Y. pseudotuberculosis; however, it is not known …

Yersinia are Gram-negative, rod-shaped facultative anaerobes, and some of them, Yersinia
enterocolitica, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, and Yersinia pestis, are pathogenic in humans …

Background Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is a zoonotic pathogen, causing mild
gastrointestinal infection in humans. From this comparatively benign pathogenic species …

Yersinia pestis, responsible for causing fulminant plague, has evolved clonally from the
enteric pathogen, Y. pseudotuberculosis, which in contrast, causes a relatively benign …

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

Omics has remarkably changed the way we investigate and understand life. Omics differs
from traditional hypothesis-driven research because it is a discovery-driven approach. Mass …
