Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The virulence of Yersinia pestis in humans depends on a variety of factors, the most important of which is its ability to proliferate intracellularly. Associated with this ability and virulence are $Ca^{2+}$ dependence; V and W antigens; Yersinia outer membrane proteins; F1 envelope antigen; coagulase and fibrinolysin production; and pigment absorption.
