Kolodziejek A, Bearden S, Maes S, Montenieri J, Gage K, Hovde C, et al.
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2023 Feb; 89(2):e0124422. PMID: 36744930
Ail confers serum resistance in humans and is a critical virulence factor of Y. pestis, the causative agent of plague. Here, the contribution of Ail for Y. pestis survival in...

Aoyagi K, Brooks B, Bearden S, Montenieri J, Gage K, Fisher M
Microbiology (Reading) . 2014 Dec; 161(Pt 3):628-38. PMID: 25533446
Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, can be transmitted by fleas by two different mechanisms: by early-phase transmission (EPT), which occurs shortly after flea infection, or by blocked fleas...

Graham C, Woods M, Vetter S, Petersen J, Montenieri J, Holmes J, et al.
J Med Entomol . 2014 Oct; 51(5):1079-86. PMID: 25276941
Plague, a primarily flea-borne disease caused by Yersinia pestis, is characterized by rapidly spreading epizootics separated by periods of quiescence. Little is known about how and where Y. pestis persists...

Johnson T, Hinnebusch B, Boegler K, Graham C, Macmillan K, Montenieri J, et al.
Microbiology (Reading) . 2014 Sep; 160(Pt 11):2517-2525. PMID: 25187626
Plague, caused by Yersinia pestis, is characterized by quiescent periods punctuated by rapidly spreading epizootics. The classical 'blocked flea' paradigm, by which a blockage forms in the flea's proventriculus on...

Williams S, Schotthoefer A, Montenieri J, Holmes J, Vetter S, Gage K, et al.
Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis . 2013 Apr; 13(7):468-78. PMID: 23590319
Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, is primarily a rodent-associated, flea-borne zoonosis maintained in sylvatic foci throughout western North America. Transmission to humans is mediated most commonly by the...

Schotthoefer A, Bearden S, Holmes J, Vetter S, Montenieri J, Williams S, et al.
Parasit Vectors . 2011 Oct; 4:191. PMID: 21958555
Background: Traditionally, efficient flea-borne transmission of Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, was thought to be dependent on a process referred to as blockage in which biofilm-mediated growth of...

Schotthoefer A, Bearden S, Vetter S, Holmes J, Montenieri J, Graham C, et al.
J Med Entomol . 2011 Apr; 48(2):411-7. PMID: 21485382
Sharp declines in human and animal cases of plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis (Yersin), have been observed when outbreaks coincide with hot weather. Failure of biofilm production, or...

Desrosiers D, Bearden S, Mier Jr I, Abney J, Paulley J, Fetherston J, et al.
Infect Immun . 2010 Sep; 78(12):5163-77. PMID: 20855510
Little is known about Zn homeostasis in Yersinia pestis, the plague bacillus. The Znu ABC transporter is essential for zinc (Zn) uptake and virulence in a number of bacterial pathogens....

Vetter S, Eisen R, Schotthoefer A, Montenieri J, Holmes J, Bobrov A, et al.
Microbiology (Reading) . 2010 Apr; 156(Pt 7):2216-2225. PMID: 20395271
Early-phase transmission (EPT) is a recently described model of plague transmission that explains the rapid spread of disease from flea to mammal host during an epizootic. Unlike the traditional blockage-dependent...

Bearden S, Brubaker R
Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis . 2010 Feb; 10(1):85-92. PMID: 20158336
Despite the widespread presence of bubonic plague in sylvatic reservoirs throughout the world, the causative agent (Yersinia pestis) evolved in its present form within the last 20,000 years from enteropathogenic...
