Yersinia pestis Δail Mutants Are Not Susceptible to Human Complement Bactericidal Activity in the Flea
Ail confers serum resistance in humans and is a critical virulence factor of Y. pestis, the causative agent of plague. Here, the contribution of Ail for Y. pestis survival in the flea vector was examined. Rat or human but not mouse sera were bactericidal against a Y. pestis Δail mutant at 28°C in vi...
