Induction of the immunoprotective coat of Yersinia pestis at body temperature is mediated by the Caf1R transcription factor

Abstract Background Thermal regulation of gene expression occurs in many microorganisms, and is mediated via several typical mechanisms. Yersinia pestis is the causative agent of the plague and spreads by zoonotic transfer from fleas to mammalian blood with a concomitant rapid temperature change, fr...
