Evidence of a role for the F1 capsule of Yersinia pestis in enhancing transmission from mammals to fleas in a mouse model of bubonic plague
ABSTRACT The F1 protein capsule of Yersinia pestis is encoded by the caf operon on the 100 kb plasmid pFra and is produced at high levels in the mammalian host. Although the F1 capsule is not an essential virulence factor in many mammals, Y. pestis isolates lacking the caf operon are very rare in na...
