SRP210688 JCVI YERSINIA PESTIS BIOVAR ORIENTALIS STR. IP275 Sequencing YERSINIA PESTIS BIOVAR ORIENTALIS STR. IP275 SRP296059 PRJNA16376 Orientalis subtype isolated in Madagascar that causes plague <P> <B><I>Yersinia pestis</I> biovar Orientalis IP275</B>. This strain (IP275; 17/95) was isolated in Madagascar in 1995 from a human case of bubonic plague. The patient was originally treated for malaria, but the right inguinal bubo with high-grade fever (temperature, 41^oC), delirium, and prostration led to the diagnosis of plague. This strain contains a conjugative plasmid harboring resistance to eight antibiotics. Sequencing (8X coverage) was obtained from two libraries- a medium insert library (4-6 kb; 45,619 reads), and a small insert library (3-4 kb; 13,895 reads). Yersinia pestis biovar Orientalis str.
