Yersinia enterocolitica is the causative agent of yersiniosis, a zoonotic disease of growing
epidemiological importance with significant consequences for public health. This pathogenic …

Increasing attention is being paid to the unique roles gut microbes play in both physiological
and pathological processes. Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory …

Since its first identification in 1894 during the third pandemic in Hong Kong, there has been
significant progress of understanding the lifestyle of Yersinia pestis, the pathogen that is …

RNA structures are fundamentally important for RNA function. Dynamic, condition-
dependent structural changes are able to modulate gene expression as shown for …

To establish a successful infection, Yersinia pestis requires the delivery of cytotoxic Yops to
host cells. Yops inhibit phagocytosis, block cytokine responses, and induce apoptosis of …

Ail is an outer membrane protein from Yersinia pestis that is highly expressed in a rodent
model of bubonic plague, making it a good candidate for vaccine development. Ail is …

Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, evades host immune responses and rapidly
causes disease. The Y. pestis adhesin Ail mediates host cell binding and is critical for Yop …

The Yersiniae are a group of Gram‐negative coccobacilli inhabiting a wide range of
habitats. The genus harbors three recognized human pathogens: Y. enterocolitica and Y …

During infection, Yersinia, a facultative intracellular bacterial species, exhibits the ability to
first invade host cells and then counteract phagocytosis by the host cells. During these two …

Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, is one of the most virulent microorganisms
known. The outer membrane protein X (OmpX) in Y. pestis KIM is required for efficient …
