the 102-kilobase unstable region of yersinia pestis comprises a high-pathogenicity island linked to a pigmentation segment which undergoes internal rearrangement.	several pathogenicity islands have recently been identified in different bacterial species, including a high-pathogenicity island (hpi) in yersinia enterocolitica 1b. in y. pestis, a 102-kb chromosomal fragment (pgm locus) that carries genes involved in iron acquisition and colony pigmentation can be deleted en bloc. in this study, characterization and mapping of the 102-kb region of y. pestis 6/69 were performed to determine if this unstable region is a pathogenicity island. we found that the 1 ...	1998	9573181
a miniaturised semiautomated system for the identification of yersinia species within the genus yersinia.	commercially available identification systems based on biochemical reactions of bacteria are not suited for typing the species of the genus yersinia (y.) or the biovars (bv) of the species y. enterocolitica. this failure is caused by the limited number of biochemical reactions applied, resulting in the absence of important discriminatory key reactions. the micronaut identification system (merlin, bornheim-hersel) makes use of dried substrates/enzymes reactions in the wells of a 96-well microtitr ...	2000	11109503
