Yersinia pestis (formerly Pasteurella pestis) is a Gram-negative rod-shaped coccobacillus, a facultative anaerobic bacterium that can infect humans and other animals. Human Y. pestis infection takes three main forms: pneumonic, septicemic and bubonic plagues. All three forms were responsible for a number of high-mortality epidemics throughout human history, including the Justinianic plague of the 6h century and the Black Death that accounted for the death of at least one-third of the European population between 1347 and 1353. It has now been shown that these plagues probably originated in rodent populations in China.
