Rapid and specific identification of Yersinia pestis by using a nested polymerase chain reaction procedure

J Campbell et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1993 Mar.

Abstract

We developed a 4-h nested polymerase chain reaction assay that detected a region of the plasminogen activator gene of Yersinia pestis in 100% of 43 Y. pestis strains isolated from humans, rats, and fleas yet was unreactive with the closely related species Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.
