The dominant anti-host effects are due to a temperature shift induction of the TTSS carried on the virulence plasmid pYV/pCD1. TTSS effectors, historically calledYersiniaouter membrane proteins (Yops), have cytotoxic and phagocyte regulatory effects, are secreted through an injectosome afterY. pesti...

No other pathogen has shaped our history as dramatically as has YP. In that vein, YP continues to be a global health problem, with 1,000–2,000 human infection cases annually primarily in endemic regions where the rodent populations are very high (e.g., India and China). Furthermore, du...
