چکیده
We present TaqMan-minor groove binding (MGB) assays for an SNP that separates the Yersinia pestis strain CO92 from all other strains and for another SNP that separates North American strains from all other global strains.

A North American Yersinia pestis Draft Genome Sequence: SNPs and Phylogenetic Analysis
BACKGROUND Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, is responsible for some of the greatest epidemic scourges of mankind. It is widespread in the western United States, although it has only been present there for just over 100 years. As a result, there has been very little time for diversity to accumulate in this region. Much of the diversity that has been detected among North American i...

Background: Yersinia pestis and Francisella tularensis cause plague and tularemia, which are known as diseases of the newborn and elderly, respectively. Immunological and culture-based detection methods of these bacteria are time-consuming, costly, complicated and require advanced equipment. We aimed to design and synthesize a gene structure as positive control for molecular detection of these ...

Background and Objectives: Salmonella typhi, Bacillus anthracis, and Yersinia pestis are potent human pathogenic bacteria that cause typhoid fever, anthrax, and plague,respectively. The classic microbiological methods for detection and identification of these agents are laborious and time consuming.Therefore, developing an accurate method for rapid detection of these potent human pathogens is i...
متن کاملYersinia pestis Evolution on a Small Timescale: Comparison of Whole Genome Sequences from North America
BACKGROUND Yersinia pestis, the etiologic agent of plague, was responsible for several devastating epidemics throughout history and is currently of global importance to current public heath and biodefense efforts. Y. pestis is widespread in the Western United States. Because Y. pestis was first introduced to this region just over 100 years ago, there has been little time for genetic diversity t...
