As part of a fatal human plague case investigation, we showed that the plague bacterium, Yersinia pestis, can survive for at least 24 days in contaminated soil under natural conditions. These results have implications for defining plague foci, persistence, transmission, and bioremediation after a natural or intentional exposure to Y. pestis.
作为一起致命人类鼠疫病例调查的一部分，我们发现鼠疫杆菌耶尔森氏鼠疫杆菌在自然条件下的污染土壤中可存活至少24天。这些结果对于确定鼠疫疫源地、持久性、传播以及自然或人为接触耶尔森氏鼠疫杆菌后的生物修复具有重要意义。
