Article Synopsis
  • Researchers have sequenced the complete genomes of 11 highly virulent strains from the ancient 0.ANT5 branch, closely related to the First Plague Pandemic.
  • Nine of these strains were isolated recently, between 2013 and 2023, while two were obtained from earlier outbreaks in 1953 and 1971.
  • All strains were sourced from the Tien Shan plague focus in Kyrgyzstan, highlighting the ongoing relevance of historical pathogens.

Fifty six Yersinia pestis strains, isolated over the period of more than 50 years in three high-mountain foci of Kyrgyzstan (Tien Shan, Alai, and Talas), have been characterized by means of PCR and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) typing methods. Seven of these strains were also characterized by means of whole genome sequencing and genome-wide SNP phylogenetic analysis. It was found that forty two strains belong to 0.
