Abstract
Since the beginning of the 1990s, the number of human cases of plague has been rising, and outbreaks are reappearing in various countries after decades of quiescence. Plague is therefore categorized as a reemerging disease. Until recently, Yersinia pestis was considered as uniformly susceptible toKeywords
