Role of Tellurite Resistance Operon in Filamentous Growth of Yersinia pestis in Macrophages.
<h4>Background</h4>Yersinia pestis initiates infection by parasitism of host macrophages. In response to macrophage infections, intracellular Y. pestis can assume a filamentous cellular morphology which may mediate resistance to host cell innate immune responses. We previously observed t...
