Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, is a deadly bacterium that affects humans. Strain D106004 was isolated from a new plague focus in Yulong County, China, in 2006. To gain insights into the epidemic origin, we have sequenced the genomes of D106004 and strains Z176003 and D182038, isolated from neighboring regions.
鼠疫耶尔森菌是引起鼠疫的病原体,是一种致命的细菌,会影响人类。2006 年,从中国玉龙县的一个新的鼠疫疫源地分离到菌株 D106004。为了深入了解疫情的起源,我们对来自邻近地区的菌株 Z176003 和 D182038 以及 D106004 进行了基因组测序。
