Yersinia spp. are animal pathogens, some of which cause human disease. We sequenced 10 Yersinia isolates (from six species: Yersinia enterocolitica, Y. fredericksenii, Y. kristensenii, Y. pestis, Y. pseudotuberculosis, and Y. ruckeri) to high-quality draft or complete status. The genomes range in size from 3.77 to 4.94 Mbp.

Article Synopsis
- Aquatic environments contain antibiotic-resistant bacteria, but the specific presence of polymyxin-resistant Yersinia enterocolitica, which causes yersiniosis, is not well-studied until now.
- Researchers isolated polymyxin-resistant strains from natural water, showing resistance to multiple antibiotics and a high capability to cause disease in the model organism Galleria mellonella, leading to a 90% mortality rate within 48 hours.
- Whole genome sequencing revealed 26 antibiotic resistance genes and a close genetic relationship to strains from humans and swine, indicating that polymyxin-resistant Y. enterocolitica could be a significant health threat to humans.

Article Synopsis
- * A unique megaplasmid, called pESM, associated with multidrug resistance and virulence has been identified, carrying genes that provide resistance to important antibiotics and enhance tolerance to environmental stressors like mercury.
- * The study reveals that pESM likely contributes to the emergence and spread of Minnesota, which poses significant risks for human and animal infections due to its high virulence and antibiotic resistance.

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.
