A transposon site hybridization screen identifies galU and wecBC as important for survival of Yersinia pestis in murine macrophages. Klein Kathryn A, Fukuto Hana S, Pelletier Mark, Romanov Galina, Grabenstein Jens P, Palmer Lance E, Journal of bacteriology 2012 Yersinia pestis is able to survive and replicate within murine macrophages. However, the mechanism by which Y. pestis promotes its intracellular survival is not well understood. To identify genes that Hana Fukuto 22139502 PubMed
Global gene expression profiling of Yersinia pestis replicating inside macrophages reveals the roles of a putative stress-induced operon in regulating type III secretion and intracellular cell division. Fukuto Hana S, Svetlanov Anton, Palmer Lance E, Karzai A Wali, Bliska James B Infection and immunity 2010 Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, is a facultative intracellular pathogen. Previous studies have indicated that the ability of Y. pestis to survive inside macrophages may be critical dur Hana Fukuto 20566693 PubMed
Characterization of phagosome trafficking and identification of PhoP-regulated genes important for survival of Yersinia pestis in macrophages. Grabenstein Jens P, Fukuto Hana S, Palmer Lance E, Bliska James B Infection and immunity 2006 The transcriptional activator PhoP is important for survival of Yersinia pestis in macrophage phagosomes. However, the phagosomes inhabited by Y. pestis have not been well characterized, and the mecha Hana Fukuto 16790745 PubMed
