Yersinia pestis biovar Orientalis sp. IP275
Y. pestis strain IP275 (original name: 17/95) was isolated in Madagascar in 1995 from a human case of bubonic plague. The patient, a 16-year-old boy from the Ambalavao district of Madagascar presented with fever, chills, and myalgia suggestive of malaria and was treated with quinine. Three days later, the appearance of a right inguinal bubo with high-grade fever (temperature, 41°C), delirium, and prostration led to the diagnosis of plague. The bubo was punctured, and the patient was treated with twice-daily intramuscular injections of streptomycin (2 g per day for 4 days) and oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (2 g per day for 10 days). The patient recovered but had severe asthenia for more than a month. This strain is of biovar Orientalis. It harbors a conjugative plasmid conferring resistance to eight antibiotics [1].
