A putative type IVB secretion system contributes to the pathogenicity of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis lineage 8 strains associated with the Far East scarlet-like fever
Abstract Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is a food-borne pathogen responsible for a self-limiting mesenteric lymphadenitis. Yersinia pseudotuberculosis lineages 1 and 8 are also associated to the Far East scarlet-like fever (FESLF) syndrome, characterized by skin rash, hyperemic tongue, and desquamation.
