| Population structure of the Yersinia pseudotuberculosis complex according to multilocus sequence typing. | Multilocus sequence analysis of 417 strains of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis revealed that it is a complex of four populations, three of which have been previously assigned species status [Y. pseudotuberculosis sensu stricto (s.s.), Yersinia pestis and Yersinia similis] and a fourth population, which we refer to as the Korean group, which may be in the process of speciation. We detected clear signs of recombination within Y. pseudotuberculosis s.s. as well as imports from Y. similis and the Korean ... | 2011 | 21951486 |
| yersinia similis sp. nov. | strains originally identified phenotypically as members of the species yersinia pseudotuberculosis were subjected to a more detailed classification employing 16s rrna gene sequence analysis, dna-dna hybridization, determination of the dna base composition and phenotypic characterization. the quinone system, consisting of the predominant compound ubiquinone q-8 and minor amounts of menaquinone mk-8, the major components of the polar lipid profile, as well as the polyamine pattern, with putrescine ... | 2008 | 18398201 |
| genome sequence of yersinia similis y228t, a member of the yersinia pseudotuberculosis complex. | we report here on the genome sequence of yersinia similis 228(t) isolated in germany. the genome has a size of 4.9 mb and a g+c content of 47% and is predicted to contain 4,135 coding sequences. annotation of the 60,687-bp extrachromosomal element predicted 67 coding sequences and a g+c content of 47.8%. | 2014 | 24675860 |
| the yersinia pseudotuberculosis complex: characterization and delineation of a new species, yersinia wautersii. | the genus yersinia contains three species pathogenic for humans, one of which is the enteropathogen yersinia pseudotuberculosis. a recent analysis by multi locus sequence typing (mlst) of the 'y. pseudotuberculosis complex' revealed that this complex comprises three distinct populations: the y. pestis/y. pseudotuberculosis group, the recently described species yersinia similis, and a third not yet characterized population designated 'korean group', because most strains were isolated in korea. th ... | 2014 | 24598372 |
| structure and genetic basis of yersinia similis serotype o:9 o-specific polysaccharide. | the o-polysaccharide (ops, o-ag) cap of lps is a major virulence factor of yersinia species and also serves as a receptor for the binding of lytic bacteriophage φr1-37. currently, the ops-based serotyping scheme for the yersinia pseudotuberculosis complex includes 21 known o-serotypes that follow three distinct lineages: y. pseudotuberculosis sensu stricto, y. similis and the korean group of strains. elucidation of the y. pseudotuberculosis complex ops structures and characterization of the ops ... | 2015 | 24361587 |
