Inhalation of Yersinia pestis bacilli causes pneumonic plague, a rapidly progressing and
exceptionally virulent disease. Extensively antibiotic-resistant Y. pestis strains exist and we …

Yersinia pestis is one of the world's most virulent human pathogens. Inhalation of this Gram‐
negative bacterium causes pneumonic plague, a rapidly progressing and usually fatal …

We report that oral infection with Yersinia pseudotuberculosis results in the development of
two distinct populations of pathogen-specific CD8+ tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM …

Surviving infection represents a balance between the proinflammatory responses needed to
eliminate the pathogen, and anti-inflammatory signals limiting damage to the host. IL-10 is a …

Burkholderia pseudomallei and the closely related species, Burkholderia mallei, produce
similar multifaceted diseases which range from rapidly fatal to protracted and chronic, and …

Pneumonic plague is a highly virulent infectious disease with 100% mortality rate, and its
causative organism Yersinia pestis poses a serious threat for deliberate use as a bioterror …

Pneumonic plague is one of the world's most deadly infectious diseases. The causative
bacterium, Yersinia pestis, has the potential to be exploited as a biological weapon, and no …

A growing body of evidence has shown that resident memory T (T RM) cells formed in tissue
after mucosal infection or vaccination are crucial for counteracting reinfection by pathogens …

The mammalian immune system comprises multiple physical, chemical, and cellular
components that are traditionally classified as innate and adaptive immunity. The innate …

Yersinia pestis evolved from Y. pseudotuberculosis to become the causative agent of
bubonic and pneumonic plague. We identified a homolog of the Salmonella enterica serovar …
