The surface of Yersinia pestis is covered with two densely aggregated homopolymeric fimbrial proteins, which play important roles in mediating host cell recogni
A recent analysis by Multi Locus Sequence Typing (MLST) of the Y.pseudotuberculosis (Y.pst) population revealed that, in addition to the already identified Y.pe
