Yersinia pestis biovar Orientalis str. MG05-1020
Y. pestis MG05-1020 was isolated from pus collected from a blister on the abdomen of an 8 year old male patient (infection is presumed to have occurred at the site of the flea bite) on 2/15/05. The culture was confirmed at Chapa Hospital in Antananarivo, Madagascar. The isolate is positive for anti-F1 direct fluorescent antibody and was lysed by Y. pestis-specific bacteriophage. MG05-1020 is sensitive to chloramphenicol, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, streptomycin, and doxycycline. In addition, it is glycerol negative/nitrate positive hence belongs to biovar Orientalis. Virulence studies showed that 3.36 x 103 cfu killed mice within four days.
