Yersinia pestis Angola

Y. pestis strain Angola was isolated prior to 1985. It belongs to the biovar Antiqua and ferments rhamnose and melibiose, which is a property usually associated with its near neighbor Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. Y. pestis Angola has been found to belong to a group of atypical Y. pestis strains with genotypic similarities intermediate between typical Y. pestis strains and Y. pseudotuberculosis strains. Genotypic studies indicate that Y. pestis Angola is the oldest Y. pestis strain analyzed to date. Y. pestis Angola also harbors three plasmids similar to other typical Y. pestis isolates but that display unusual sizes. One of the critical virulence factors for Yersinia, the V antigen, has been shown to be different from that encoded by typical strains of Y. pestis. Angola has been shown to be virulent by aerosol in mice. Y. pestis Angola contains a deletion affecting the F1 operon.
