Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic species of the genus Yersinia have a marked tropism for lymphoid tissue during the early stages of infection. Bacterial survival at this site determines whether the disease is localized or progresses systemically, leading to a high rate of mortality. Several plasmid-encoded virulence genes are known to be required for survival and pathogenesis, but the contribution of chromosomal genes has been largely...
