Prior to this study, three species of the enterobacterial genus Yersinia that cause invasive human diseases (Yersinia pestis, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, and Yersinia enterocolitica) had been sequenced. However, there were no genomic data on the Yersinia species with more limited virulence potential, frequently found in soil and water environments.}, isbn = {1465-6906}, author = {Chen, Peter E. and Cook, Christopher and Stewart, Andrew C. and Nagarajan, Niranjan and Sommer, Dan D. and M.
