Abstract

Although pneumonic plague is the deadliest manifestation of disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis , there is surprisingly little information on the cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for Y. pestis -triggered pathology in the lung. Therefore, to understand the progression of this unique disease, we characterized an intranasal mouse model of primary pneumonic plague. Mice succumbed to a purulent multifocal severe exudative bronchopneumonia that closely resembles the disease observed in humans. Analyses revealed a strikingly biphasic syndrome, in which the infection begins with an antiinflammatory state in the first 24-36 h that rapidly progresses to a highly proinflammatory state by 48 h and death by 3 days. To assess the adaptation of Y. pestis to a mammalian environment, we used DNA microarray technology to analyze the transcriptional responses of the bacteria during interaction with the mouse lung. Included among the genes up-regulated in vivo are those comprising the yop-ysc type III secretion system and genes contained within the chromosomal pigmentation locus, validating the use of this technology to identify loci essential to the virulence of Y. pestis .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
