Researchers at the University of Louisville are studying Yersinia pestis, the bacteria that causes bubonic and pneumonic plague, to understand its capacity to evade the immune system.

A doctoral student also received a $100k grant from the NIH to research how Yersinia pestis changes vesicles produced by immune cells.
