Finally, we propose that several Y. pestis lineages were established during the Bronze Age, some of which persist to the present day. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Multilocus sequence typing of housekeeping genes revealed the existence of clonal groupings even within bacterial species such as Neisseria meningitidis ( 12 ), Streptococcus pneumoniae ( 13 ), and Helicobacter pylori ( 14 ), which are characterized by [doi.org]

Rickettsia Typhi
In Xenopsylla cheopis fleas collected from Cotonou (Benin), Rickettsia typhi was detected in 1% (2/199), and an uncultured Bartonella sp. was detected in 34.7% (69/199). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Though death rates for untreated cases usually approach 100%, antibiotics can be a very effective treatment against the plague. [web.archive.org]

Treatment of Yersinia Pestis Without treatment the fatality rate is high – more than 90%. With treatment this drops to between 5 and 20%. Rapid treatment with antibiotics such as streptomycin and tetracycline is the most common procedure. [brighthub.com]

At all times but especially in cold places there is a risk of seeing the disease shifting from the bubonic to pneumonic variety which carries the most severe prognosis and is directly transmitted from an individual to another. [web.archive.org]
Etiology
Yersinia pestis, the etiologic agent of the disease plague, has been implicated in three historical pandemics. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
