A serious (sometimes fatal) infection of rodents caused by Yersinia pestis and accidentally transmitted to humans by the bite of a flea that has bitten an infected animal.

2 Y. pestis detection was not affected by Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus significantly.
3 A library of tagged mutants of the virulent Y. pestis Kimberley53 strain was generated.
4 This rapid method is applicable to blood cultures containing low levels of Y. pestis .
5 The Plague is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis .
6 This assay was validated with various Y. pestis strains.
7 These differences appear to be related to lower efficiency of YopJ effector translocation by Y. pestis .
8 In this study we performed transcriptional profiling experiments to identify Y. pestis quorum sensing regulated functions.
9 But nothing poses a greater existential threat than the bacteria Yersinia pestis -otherwise known as plague.
10 Thus, it appears that Y. pestis disables these cell populations to annihilate host immune responses during plague.

12 Molecular mechanisms of the Yersinia pestis pathogenicity and peculiarities of maturation of specific immunity to plague are reviewed.
13 However, the live attenuated Y. pestis vaccines are still considered to be the most effective way to prevent plague.
14 The BIN medium is suggested as a selective medium for isolation and recovery of Y. pestis from various backgrounds.
15 This mutant is an immunogenic, highly attenuated live Y. pestis construct that merits further development as a vaccine candidate.
16 Evidence of this fact comes from several studies that document a lack of nucleotide diversity in the Y. pestis genome.
