The paper identifies a disrupted CCR5-like immunoglobulin gene in black-footed ferrets linked to increased susceptibility to plague caused by Yersinia pestis.

This study shows Yersinia pestis inhibits neutrophil extracellular vesicle production, reducing antimicrobial cargo and inflammatory properties.

This study identifies distinct signaling pathways in neutrophils and macrophages for T3SS-mediated LTB4 synthesis, revealing differences in immune cell responses to bacterial infections.
