High-frequency RecA-dependent and -independent mechanisms of Congo red binding mutations in Yersinia pestis.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Aug 1999

Hare J M, McDonough K A

Abstract excerpt

Yersinia pestis, which causes bubonic and pneumonic plague, forms pigmented red colonies on Congo red (CR) dye agar. The hmsHFRS genes required for CR binding (Crb(+)) are genetically linked to virulence-associated genes encoding a siderophore uptake system. These genes are contained in a 102-kb chromosomal pgm locus that is lost in a high-frequency deletion event, resulting in loss of the Crb(+) phenotype. We...
