Y ersinia pestis, the cause of the disease plague, forms biofilms to enhance flea‐to‐mammal
transmission. Biofilm formation is dependent on exopolysaccharide synthesis and is …

Yersinia pestis, the cause of plague, forms a biofilm in the proventriculus of its flea vector to
enhance transmission. Biofilm formation in Y. pestis is regulated by the intracellular levels of …

Plague-causing Yersinia pestis is transmitted through regurgitation when it forms a biofilm-
mediated blockage in the foregut of its flea vector. This biofilm is composed of an …

Y ersinia pestis, the cause of plague, forms a biofilm in the foregut of its flea vector to
enhance transmission. Biofilm formation in Y. pestis is controlled by the intracellular levels of …

The hmsHFRS operon is responsible for biosynthesis and translocation of biofilm matrix
exopolysaccharide. Yersinia pestis expresses the two sole diguanylate cyclases HmsT and …

Yersinia pestis, the agent of plague, forms a biofilm in its flea vector to enhance
transmission. Y. pestis biofilm development is positively regulated by hmsT and hmsD …

Cyclic di‐GMP (c‐di‐GMP) is a signalling molecule that governs the transition between
planktonic and biofilm states. Previously, we showed that the diguanylate cyclase HmsT and …

Yersinia pestis forms a biofilm in the foregut of its flea vector that promotes transmission by
flea bite. As in many bacteria, biofilm formation in Y. pestis is controlled by intracellular …

Yersinia pestis, which causes bubonic plague, forms biofilms in fleas, its insect vectors, as a
means to enhance transmission. Biofilm development is positively regulated by hmsT …

Cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) is essential for Yersinia pestis biofilm formation, which is
important for flea-borne blockage-dependent plague transmission. Two diguanylate …
