Rapid Detection and Identification of Yersinia pestis from Food Using Immunomagnetic Separation and Pyrosequencing

Figure 2

Pyrosequence alignments from Y. pestis isolated from food samples. Pyrosequencing reads for Y. pestis targets including Ypc4 (chromosome), Yppst1 (pPCP1 plasmid), and Ypcaf1M-1 (pMT1 plasmid) are shown with limit of detection from milk, ham, and salad samples.
