A Plague of Fleas—Survival and Transmission of Yersinia pestis
T he gram-negative bacterium Yersinia pestis, which undergoes an obligate flea-rodent-flea life cycle, causes bubonic plague, a rapid and highly fatal zoonotic disease that was responsible for at least three pandemics (in the 5–6th centuries, the 8–14th centuries, and the 19–21st centuries). During the mid-1940s, researchers began studying a series of Y. pestis virulence determinants to learn h...
متن کاملYersinia pestis Requires Host Rab1b for Survival in Macrophages
Yersinia pestis is a facultative intracellular pathogen that causes the disease known as plague. During infection of macrophages Y. pestis actively evades the normal phagosomal maturation pathway to establish a replicative niche within the cell. However, the mechanisms used by Y. pestis to subvert killing by the macrophage are unknown. Host Rab GTPases are central mediators of vesicular traffic...
متن کاملYersinia pestis Survival and Replication in Potential Ameba Reservoir
Plague ecology is characterized by sporadic epizootics, then periods of dormancy. Building evidence suggests environmentally ubiquitous amebae act as feral macrophages and hosts to many intracellular pathogens. We conducted environmental genetic surveys and laboratory co-culture infection experiments to assess whether plague bacteria were resistant to digestion by 5 environmental ameba species....
متن کاملYersinia pestis and plague.
Yersinia pestis is the aetiological agent of plague, a disease of humans that has potentially devastating consequences. Evidence indicates that Y. pestis evolved from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, an enteric pathogen that normally causes a relatively mild disease. Although Y. pestis is considered to be an obligate pathogen, the lifestyle of this organism is surprisingly complex. The bacteria are...
