英国桑格中心的科学家近日宣布完成了鼠疫杆菌的基因组测序工作 ,这将有助于研究该病菌的进化过程 ,为这种烈性传染病寻找新的抗菌药和疫苗 .桑格中心的科学家在最新一期英国《自然》杂志上报告说 ,他们从一位于1992年死于肺炎型鼠疫的人身上收集到一种称为“Ｃ0 92”的鼠疫杆 Recently, scientists at the Sanger Center in the UK announced the completion of genome sequencing of Yersinia pestis, which will help to study the evolutionary process of this bacterium and search for new antibacterial drugs and vaccines for this potent infectious disease. The first issue of the journal Nature in the World reported that they had collected a plague rod called “C0 92” from a man who died of a pneumonic plague in 1992
