This study identifies SlyB as a key lipoprotein in Yersinia pestis that enhances envelope stress tolerance, enabling immune evasion in mammalian hosts but not in flea vectors.

This study identifies the Y. pseudotuberculosis T4BSS as a virulence factor contributing to FESLF pathogenicity through immune modulation during oral infection.

This study tracks genetic and phenotypic changes in Yersinia enterocolitica during a chronic human infection, revealing host-adaptive mutations and antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

This paper evaluates a modified Yersinia pseudotuberculosis vaccine lacking the Type 3 Secretion System, showing reduced protection but increased safety compared to the original strain.

This study analyzes the global evolutionary patterns of Yersinia pestis, revealing its introduction into Africa and key genomic adaptations contributing to its persistence.

This study characterizes Listeria monocytogenes genomes from Costa Rica, identifies unnoticed outbreaks, and advocates for mandatory reporting to enhance surveillance.

The paper presents a dual proteomic analysis of Yersinia pestis and human immune cells during blood infection, revealing pathogenic signatures and pathway reshaping.

The paper addresses statistical concerns about detecting natural selection during the Black Death using ancient genomic data, reaffirming findings related to immune loci and the ERAP2 variant.
