Bacterial3
Because of its 97% DNA homology with the agent that causes plague , Yersinia pestis, Y pseudotuberculosis is believed to have been the progenitor of the plague bacillus and is considered a model of bacterial evolution. (medscape.com)

Strains3
Strains of C. ulcerans were isolated during routine bacteriological investigations in conjunction with necropsies of wild animals that were found dead or that had suspicious lesions during 1997-2013. (cdc.gov)
It can be associated with postinfectious complications such as erythema nodosum and reactive arthritis , and strains of Y pseudotuberculosis found in Asia appear to produce a superantigen-associated toxic erythema illness suggestive of scarlet fever. (medscape.com)
Although white-tailed deer and other small mammals harbor A. phagocytophilum , evidence suggests that they are not a reservoir for the strains that cause HGA. (mdwiki.org)
Biochemical1
