Bioluminescence imaging to track bacterial dissemination of Yersinia pestis using different routes of infection in mice

BACKGROUND: Plague is caused by Yersinia pestis, a bacterium that disseminates inside of the host at remarkably high rates. Plague bacilli disrupt normal immune responses in the host allowing for systematic spread that is fatal if left untreated. How Y. pestis disseminates from the site of infection...
