To further investigate the genomic diversity among this group and to help characterize lineages of the plague organism that have no sequenced members, we present here the genomes of two isolates of the "classical" antiqua biovar, strains Antiqua and Nepal516 [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  These Y. pestis mutants were more susceptible to the CAMPs cecropin A and polymyxin B, and produced lipid A lacking Ara4N modifications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  “Many San Franciscans lived in crowded temporary shelters and cottages in refugee camps. Accumulated garbage and debris created a congenial environment for rats, some of which carried bubonic plague.” [findingdulcinea.com]

• Suggestibility

  A differential host-specific type of binding to ECM proteins by YapV, YapK, and YapJ suggested that these proteins participate in broadening the host range of Y. pestis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Neglect

  CONCLUSION: Most flea-borne infections are neglected diseases which should be monitored systematically in domestic rural and urban human populations to assess their epidemiological and clinical relevance. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Staphylococcus Aureus

  Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus survived on dry hospital mops up to 56 days ( 19 ). [doi.org]

• Legionella Pneumophila

  Finally, we show that Rab1b knockdown also impacts the pH of the Legionella pneumophila containing vacuole, another pathogen that recruits Rab1b to its vacuole. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  For example, Legionella pneumophila is resuscitated only in the presence of specific amoebae [40]. Similarly, the Rpf gene product of Micrococcus luteus is required by Mycobacterium tuberculosis to exit dormancy [41]. [journals.plos.org]

• Rickettsia Prowazekii

  The human body louse is known as a vector for the transmission of three serious diseases-specifically, epidemic typhus, trench fever, and relapsing fever caused by Rickettsia prowazekii, Bartonella quintana, and Borrelia recurrentis, respectively-that [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• 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]

The NanoLogix Solution - Live-threat microorganism detection in 24 hours Without treatment, the mortality rate for Y. pestis is about 50-90 percent. However, the rate is cut to appoximately 1-15 percent with treatment. [nanologix.com]

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]

Yersinia pestis, the etiologic agent of the disease plague, has been implicated in three historical pandemics. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Our findings confirm that Y. pestis was responsible for the Justinianic Plague, which should end the controversy regarding the etiology of this pandemic. [duo.uio.no]
