Yersinia Pestis Biovar Orientalis Str. IP275
''Yersinia'' is a genus of bacteria in the family Yersiniaceae. ''Yersinia'' species are Gram-negative, coccobacilli bacteria, a few micrometers long and fractions of a micrometer in diameter, and are facultative anaerobes. Some members of ''Yersinia'' are pathogenic in humans; in particular, ''Yersinia pestis, Y. pestis'' is the causative agent of the Plague (disease), plague. Rodents are the natural reservoirs of ''Yersinia''; less frequently, other mammals serve as the Host (biology), host. Infection may occur either through blood (in the case of ''Y. pestis'') or in an alimentary fashion, occasionally via consumption of food products (especially vegetables, milk-derived products, and meat) contaminated with infected urine or feces. Speculations exist as to whether or not certain ''Yersinia'' can also be spread by protozoan, protozoonotic mechanisms, since ''Yersinia'' species are known to be facultative intracellular parasites; studies and discussions of the possibility of a ...

Yersinia Aldovae
''Yersinia aldovae'' is a species of bacteria that was originally described as Group X2 ''Yersinia enterocolitica''. Its type strain is CNY 6005 (= CDC 669-83 = ATCC 35236). ''Y. aldovae'' has been isolated from aquatic environments and soil, but it has not been associated with animal or human illnesses. Etymology N.L. gen. fem. n. aldovae, of Aldova, named in honor of Eva Aldova, the Czechoslovakian microbiologist A microbiologist (from Ancient Greek, Greek ) is a scientist who studies microscopic life forms and processes. This includes study of the growth, interactions and characteristics of Microorganism, microscopic organisms such as bacteria, algae, f ... who first isolated the bacterium.
